Moreover, asymptote is a "all-in-one" tool with 3D support and 2D plots of reasonable quality... The discussion is now, what do you prefer: an integrated tool with a great variety of features (even if a small amount of us are interested by "three" or "graph" in asymptote) or a better tool but with less features ? It is already possible to do 3D with metapost by using featpost, m3d or others but IMHO asymptote seems great because it integrates nativelly this kind of features. I have just send a mail to Andy Hammer to ask him what he thinks about using plainTeX format instead of hardcoded latex calls...
