Irrlicht Engine

I've heard OGRE is horrible to work with .. does anyone here know what OGRE is like ? I'll have a look at it though - thanks Valkyr

Hi,
First - Great Engine , good work :)
I would like to ask how Irrlicht deals with large open enviroments and if anyone has had a serious go at it.. I mean open sea\ocean type enviroments ?

How would Irrlicht handle something like that and is there perhaps a free graphics engine out there that ...
