My vote for revolution. Please, please, please... Let us move away from these clunky gawd awful LL viewers and finally cut the umbilical to SL once and for good.

Viva la OpenSimulator!  :)

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.
