Many things can be represented by triangle meshes, we made the special cases for spheres because we were using impostors and cylinders because there are lots of them and might want to use impostors in the future.
It would be great to consider what primitives might be missing, and either add factories that simply create meshes, or boost them to new primitive types if that makes more sense. I also need to dig into an issue with text rendering on Windows where it appears to be causing crashes in the latest release. It would be great to get symmetry elements in Avogadro 2, thanks for working on this!
