My 3-D needs are pretty trivial.
- Function illustrations in the classroom (and supporting 
  notes).  For this gnuplot is really quite nice, however 
  gplt disabled its own plot_func function so this 
  functionality was missing from gplt.  (And gplt did not
  allow easy access to gnuplot for setting a variety of 
  global options, even though an easy workaround was 
  possible for the gnuplot literate 
  http://www.scipy.org/mailinglists/mailman?fn=scipy-user/2004-August/003062.html.)
- Scatter plots, with easy interactive axis rotation a plus.

fwiw,
