There's one thing that it would be useful for, if you could export 
procedural textures to a UV mapped image. This can be good for painting 
UV image maps, but using procedurals first to visualise how it will 
turn out. It's hard to explain, a better pictorial description is in 
the bump mapping section of this excellent texturing tutorial for Maya: 
http://www.3dm-mc.com/tutorials/maya/texturing.

I agree baking textures just to see in the 3D View is a bit useless. 
Better to improve the OpenGL display (as in other apps) so that the 
texture is displayed per-pixel instead of per-vertex.

@ trip:

You'll be able to get much better responses to your ideas if you take 
the time to write clearly and concisely. If I hadn't read other threads 
on elysiun.com etc. that you had written, I would have no idea what you 
are talking about.

Cheers,

Matt
