I've been seriously thinking about creating a new viewer project. But with Maria's survey[1] and all the different virtual world announcements happening and the lively OpenSimulator vs Unity discussion on the opensim-user list, I'd like to open up the discussion to the OpenSimulator development community[2].

What do you  think? Evolution or revolution?
At the moment I'd vote for reliable and stable rather than either evolution or revolution. With most viewers sharing a certain amount of common ancestry all the ones I have tried for the Linux platform have problems.
I used to like Singularity. It was good back in the early 4000 revisions but I have had issues with it since it hit the 5000+ revision. Common issues with viewers is a tendency to crash when switching workspaces, voice chat from other avatars can start breaking up after a while making it impossible to understand what is being said, and the worst problem is the viewers that push the CPU to near 100% (often while caming around) which leads to lag or to practically locking up the viewer and preventing one from doing almost anything in it.
