Opinions on Silo3D

I know very little about this program, and was wondering if there were any people here who do, or have used this modeling program. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using Silo since version 1.42 and I'm very happy with it. It has a very efficient polygonal modeling tool set. It can do basic sculpting too. It's not like Zbrush or Mudbox though, so don't expect several millions of poly's but it's very nice to have poly editing and sculpting available at the same time. The UV editing method is pretty awesome too. You can use the modeling tools with the UVs too. It also has LSCM mapping integrated.

Only problems I have are with the memory management of the program. Sometimes it crashes with some memory errors but it occurs very rarely.

I'm trying to find out what formats it handles / exports to.
