To my opinion, and according to my (somewhat limited) experience, scripting is
far more efficient than modelling with a 'wysiwyg' GUI, unless you use mainly
meshed objects, for which you need a specialized modeller (you can find some
that export meshes to POV-Ray).

To answer your question, perhaps one can use other handy langages, like python
or so, to write a GUI that generates POV-SDL. But I am afraid it would not be
that easy. Not so much easier than getting acustomed to scripting. However, it
would take a non neglectable amount of time to develop because the subject of 3D
is complex and POV-Ray deals with many aspects of it. See the richness of SDL...
