[Opensim-users] Best viewer for OpenSim and its features

I've been using the Exodus Viewer (http://exodusviewer.com/) for a couple
of months now, which is based on the official Viewer 3 of SL, but adds
some nice features like client-side AO and some customization of the UI.
Overall, most Third-Party viewers aren't aware of or ignore OpenSim
completely, and Kokua development seems to be taking its time, so I don't
think any specific OpenSim features (like LightShare) have made it into
any V3-based viewer.
Last year, Lee of Kirsten's Viewer put forth a crowdfunding pitch of
25.000£ for one year of viewer development, where the contributors could
vote on specific features they would like to see in his viewer, which
would've been a good chance to get an OpenSim-specific V3-based viewer.
Sadly, the pitch didn't reach its goal, so his viewer development has come
to a halt as well.
So for now, the bottom line is either the regular SL-viewer (which works
surprisingly well with OpenSim), Exodus, or Firestorm, as most other
viewers seem to be not in a very stable development and/or just run by one
person.
