I agree. 3DCoat is one more option for filling out the 3D toolkit. My budget workflow doesn't include many expensive apps.
 
3DCoat happens to be a great fit for my top level workflow (Silo --> Vue --> Photoshop), where it fills a major gap.
 
So 3DCoat is quite perfect for me - provided I can learn it, and in those cases where it does things better or more easily than Silo or Vue - such as applying some types of textures and decals to surface groups, hand painting, perhaps UV handling, etc.
