The Crystal Entity Layer provides higher-level ways to control objects than you'd have by using Crystal Space alone. It also provides features not present in Crystal Space, therefore saving you a lot of time you'd spend implementing them yourself.
Entities provide a convenient way to access and control objects' features and properties. Entities are not required to have a visual representation. One simply adds features to an entity by attaching property classes, then handling the messages this entity receives.
CEL has Python bindings, and its own XML-based script language. You can use either of those, on a per-entity basis. Using CELStart, you can build an application without any line of C++. Indeed, you can also use them from your own C++ code.
