Once amazing, at least since it was the first in its area, but certainly
out of date now. Not easy to use at all, not WYSIWYG, no mouse support,
etc., etc.

Not much experience with it. But I know from the discussions here that
it lacks some functionality that LeoCAD already has since the very
beginning.

The best choice in my opinion. It can read and write Ldraw format, and
it can also export POV files. It has a very nice rotating functionality,
either piece by piece, or any group of pieces, it has OpenGL support, it
has a minifig builder, It can create html building instructions, it
can... Anyway, it has the most functionality rich one around, and of
course user friendly. It can not help you creating parts by the way,
since it has no support for basic Ldraw commands used for creating
parts.
As Anderson already said, the best way to go is trying all of the
options..:-)
