Now is a good time to do just that. Since the recent addition of the Topo Knife tool, Anim8or has acquired a whole new workflow, and it's quite solid by now.
There are still plenty of rough edges, but at least Anim8or's modeller definitely isn't crap any more. If you're still using the bad old version, it's about time you updated it.
For the latest development snapshot, go to (http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php/topic,4795.0.html) (see the first post).
Here's a three-part timelapse showing the topo knife in action:

Sorry about the length, but the point was to show the raw process.

Awesome work! Not exactly low poly guild, but you sure show the potential of the tool.

Yeah, that's pretty amazing.

I tried to UV map an object in the beta version but it wouldn't let me see the textures like the previous version did. I might try again and set it to the old UI.

That thread has been split off and no longer has the latest build. Generally, if you want the newest stuff, it's in the topmost thread in this forum: (http://www.anim8or.com/smf/index.php?board=7.0)
The latest build for now is (http://www.anim8or.com/download/preview/files/animcl1233_plus.zip) 1233+, and it will be for some time, because the author is away travelling.

Anim8or 1.0 has been released. See the full announcement here: (http://www.anim8or.com/download/index.html)
Goodbye, version 0.98, you won't be missed.

I tried the latest beta and I didn't like it. I couldn't see the texture while UV mapping an object. The interface color changes were confusing as well so I went back to the first release.

Texture display works fine, and New Color Scheme is an option.

Thought I'd see if I could get to grips with this...bad idea!..I started the egg plant tut, finally managed to extrude the faces for the base, next comes the tall stem, but I dont have any room left in the windoe to extrude the top face and the move function (m) doesn't move the created base down in the window thus enabling me to make the stem...is it time to pack away my toys and give up?.

Ravenhook if you click on the 'eye' button and then click on the button with two arrows inside a box, you can zoom out and give yourself more room.

I probably won't try to use the newer Anim8or until I finish my current mission. As it is the original beta works fine. :)
