If you ask me.. I also would never ever suggest any newbie to stay on Viewer 2x.. I rather would tell him "If you really want to enjoy SL there are alternative Clients... you should try.. Not much peoples use Viewer 2"
But not because performance, tp or inventory problems. I would suggest a TPV because it is a fairy-tale to believe that Viewer 2x is better to use.
I dont know if this Viewer 2x has any stability or performance problems or what ever. All I know and in fact thats what peoples feel as biggest problem is the USABILITY. It is a user unfriendly software. It looks and feel like a software from a mobilephone, They failed hard.
I believe 10 % or 20 % peoples use it. I believe 5% because they like this Viewer and 15% because they dont know there are better Clients outthere. Because they do not inform them self.. just because they are casual SL users.
VIewer 2x is for most peoples not an improvement. And that is the real problem. Not any technical or whatever problem. Only the USABILITY is the real big problem.
Most peoples refuse to deal with this bunch of code. And I believe there will be no change. Peoples prefer TPV´s. That is fact.
LL should start to realize this and stop this mess.
