hi, i just had a chance to try out uvlayout, and here are my first impressions. i've played with it ~6hrs

mind me noobness

positive
- interface is very friendly
- the learning curve is very good
- ease of use - very good
- the amount of stretching produced is very low
- i could boot the application and in no time start uv
mapping

negative
- webbing is essential, but the surrounding area should be forced not to overlap (in extreme cases there's still quite a bit of overlapping)
- when a vertex is pinned, the given vertex should not
be involved in any overlapping!

feature req
- a way to select edge loops in UV (and move them as a
group)
- an option to move pinned vertices as a group
- it'd be cool to select a face, pin, and all included
vertices would be pinned. would work well for larger
areas.

and to give another vote to things that are being
worked on:
- undo
- unwrap that will work on closed surfaces that are
cut up (head/cylinder)
- being able to work on just one half of a symmetric
model and at any time mirror

bugs
- i see RELAX even when in ERROR mode, it'd be cool if we coud toggle relax off
- i've had issues when i export the model, it is scaled way up, and is shifted in world space

this is what i payed with:
