You bring up an interesting point. What do you think is missing in the
OSG world in terms of external tools? There used to be something called
osgedit, but I recall it being extremely annoying to build. And I also
remember a world editor called "GROME" purporting to include OSG, but I
never investigated it.

I'd be interested in what you had to say about it, since you have a good
understanding of this kind of thing. :)
