I use the picture environment to place objects ib a = document.  As long as
the facility of being able to specify the origin = (0,0) of an object is
retained, then I have no objection to the loss of the = picture environment.

I also use it to draw outline boxes when deciding how = much space my object
should occupy. It is very useful.
