Cons
Con The web site's domain is no longer available
Using the WayBackMachine to get the site's contact email address, I attempted to contact the developer to find out what the story is. There has been no response. The WayBackMachine's last archive date for the site was 11Jan2016. Their cached version of the paint3D.net's forum does not have any post explaining what happened.
Con This is not a voxel editor. Shouldn't be in this list.
Con Limited exporting formats
You can only export files as STL.
