I've just been playing with the YATT plug-in, L3DT and World Machine. From my first impressions, I think its worth investing some time to learn these tools. Although I do enjoy molding terrain myself, these apps will really speed things up and give you realistic terrains.
If anyone is interested:

Yep, I definitely try to work from real life locations. atm I am building a coastal area based on Lolworth Cove in the UK and a defensive dyke based on Devils Dyke near where I live.
I think Grinning Fool is working on a lighting plug-in that will include all the settings used in the OC, among other things. Tweaking Day/Night settings is time consuming and sometimes buggy so I would definitely welcome some help there.

Yeah, absoultely - primarily we're using it as an 'interview' process to recruit new area developers to the NS5 project. Rowbot already passed his interview.
Or, if folks are interested in helping us out on a side basis, they're welcome to submit maps and if they cut the mustard, we can use them in game.
