[Opensim-users] Your Viewer and why?

[Vanish]

Hi,

nowadays I'm using Imprudence mainly for exporting / importing, because  
most things I make or get are compatible with its importer. Mainly I'm  
using Firestorm (despite its awful performance) for their nice mix of  
features, and every once in a while I'm just trying out the official SL  
viewer, which performs really well (graphics-wise) but doesn't have some  
of the features I love (like viewer-side AO, quick access to windlight  
settings, draw distance, etc. or legacy pie menus). I put some high hopes  
into Kokua, if they ever come out with a Mac version, but until then I'm  
somewhat stuck between the frying pan and the fire.
