What's the point of a NURBS cube?

i think you can start modeling things with it pretty easily and change them into other things...though i'm not totaly sure....But it's just a normal cube with rounded endges right???

It's not by definition rounded. You can round it just like a polygon cube, but all it is is 6 NURBS planes positioned in a cube. I don't see any point in it... seems a lot more complicated than a polygon cube, and I don't see any advantages.

I thought with a nurbs cube you could interact with the corners of it and so make more rounded effects and such. It's wierd that it's 6 distinct planes and not one object...
