PyMol : some good features

Though there is no universal chemical visualiztion program, recently I am in love with PyMol
The figures in the movie in my post: A miniature guy: Reaction Path is from PyMOl.

my comments:

note: [b] means the button 'b' .

+ open source
+ Python language support
(i.e., huge possibility for internal data manipulation → good math good graphics !)
+ its POVRAY implementation is a cool one especialy with [RAY].
+ excellent wiki/manual suport, more web tutorials.
+ coming more




- Not very easy to get, licensed.
- figure from a saved POVRAY and PyMol's [RAY] generated one differs!
- coming more
