Preferred Opensim Viewer

Which opensim client viewer do you prefer and why?
For example, Cool VL viewer, Singularity viewer,
Firestorm viewer, and a new viewer trying to
gain traction Dayturn viewer...

In my personal opinion, even though
Firestorm viewer may be preferred
choice it's a letdown requiring 2
separate versions, one foe SL
and another for Opensim...

Following. I use the opensim Firestorm. Kind of annoys me with slow texture rezzing.

It seems Firestorm is the only viewer that is actively developed and maintained for opensim at the moment so that's the one I use.

Dayturn doesn't work on Kitely for some reason and when I asked at their forum I was told they had no interest in figuring out why or fix it. From what I can see, Dayturn is only an attempt to replicate the official SL viewer (a 32 bit version of it even!) so it doesn't seem to be much point in it anyway.

Interesting you mentioned Dayturn as was testing it and as when posted at their forum about it the author started getting irate with me after mentioning kitely then after testing his latest release which didn't launch at all he said use last version that worked and don't bother... now I see why that forum is not so active like it is here, though Dayturn has potential, decided to drop testing it... Singularity and VL Cool viewer are nice but would choose Cool viewer as it's actively being maintained and both have localhost while firestorm doesn't...
