I use Phoenix for the most part, but having heard so much about Singularity, I just now gave it a quick try. Very quick. I checked a couple of basic building functions and exporting.
Exporting: I use Angstrom 1.1.7 (28947) as it uses the HPA format, allowing me to export the contents of my builds. Importing: Singularity will import Mesh and XML. Phoenix also imports Mesh and Cool VL Viewer imports XML. Building: Singularity will hollow to 95% and has a nanoprim dimension of 0.01m. Phoenix will hollow to 99% and has a nanoprim dimension of 0.001m. So, for me, its Phoenix to do my building and importing Mesh, Angstrom for Importing/Exporting my builds and Cool VL Viewer for importing XMLs. If it can be shown that Singularity handles XMLs better than Cool VL, I will switch to suing Singularity for XMLs.
