Unfortunately, I think that currently power equates to viewer complexity, though maybe people will disagree with me on that.

The web-based viewer efforts are very interesting but I don't know how long it will be until they're ready for primetime 
- could be quite a while.

I'm not sure I could express a preference since all the viewers seem complicated to me :), but one list for assessment 
is at [1] if you've not already seen that.
