Yeah, I would love to see a useable viewer which just did the basics and was ideally web-based (maybe with modular options for extra complexity). Ideally webgl - I know it's nowhere near the performance of a native client atm but like it or not, the convenience of the web eats many things eventually (including this, imo).

But that could still be some way off.

If I may chime in - ultimate super awesome idealistic (and likely pipe-dream) 
view of the future from my end.  Light
weight web based viewers that allow for just the basics such as rendering / 
movement, basic inventory (changing of
attachments, clothing, organization of folders), joining / leaving of groups, 
and chat.  Heck, maybe even the extras
outside of rendering / movement could be left out of the viewer component and 
added in as external pieces to the
containing web page which should in theory make a web viewer even more simplistic and 
light weight.  For "power" users
that need the full on facilities like building / editing, groups management, 
land settings, estate settings, and so on -
use a regular installed viewer.

Why not use a modern viewer like Singularity with a old V1 interface .. This is 
why people still love up2date viewers
with a simple GUI ..

Hello Justin,

Thank you for your feedback !

In the case these Viewers would still not be enough user-friendly or non-mature enough, I 
was thinking "simplifying"
one of these viewers, ie taking code away from their source. Of course that 
creates a maintenance issue, but we'd get
a Viewer for Dummies or so !?
A couple of people seems having done that already.

What do you think ?

Thanks again,
-michel

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.
