What do you want to do?

We use OpenRAVE for all our simulations. After spending a few years running with Gazebo, we amde the change to OpenRAVE as we found it more flexible, it better suited our needs and I haven't looked back since. Having said that, we haven't tried Gazebo again for almost 2 years and with all the love it's been getting recently, things might have changed.

The biggest advantages we found were that OpenRAVE's plugin architecture allowed us to simply swap bits in and out (e.g. change the phsyics engine) without having to look deep into the code base, and the combination of a python and C++ API allowed very quick development.
