Light mapping in Quill is good, but I can only run it in 16bit mode as my card slows it down to a snails pace.
Quill has stopped being supported by its arthor so it up to Coders Workshop, and I doubt they will do anything more to it, there is no way to find out as Quills forum is dead( I think the last post was mine )but it is a good program and as of yet has no serious bugs I could tell you about, Smiff has done some great tutorials if you hurry you can stiil copy them from the forum http://invisionfree.com/forums/Quill3D/index.php?s=fde11aab4849001fce6eb49f5cb079d9&act=SC&c=2 or smiff's site.
Cartography shop is still buggy and has some issues but all it is is a mapper, Quill is a whole lot more, cshop is being rewritten and ver5 I think is being done with blitz? it will be intresting to see how it performs.
Cshop5 will not be a free upgrade so I would hold onto your money untill the release of ver5.
Try DeLeD or Blender for now to get the feel of things, or get Quill and dive in, and remember for textures try Texture Maker it rocks.
