Answer

Great question! Our open source [Amazon Sumerian Hosts JavaScript library on GitHub](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-sumerian-hosts) supports both BabylonJS and Three.js. So you can feel free to use either. We tend to recommend BabylonJS for the following reasons:
* BabylonJS offers the [BabylonJS Editor](https://editor.babylonjs.com/) which provides visual editing capabilities very similar to what Sumerian developers were used to with the Sumerian editor.
* We provide [a plug-in](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-tools-for-babylonjs-editor/blob/main/README.md) for the BabylonJS Editor that makes it easy to deploy your BabylonJS scenes to AWS Amplify with just a few clicks, much like the Sumerian editor's one-click publish feature.
* We currently have a broader and clearer set of example applications for BabylonJS than we do for Three.js. You can see videos of those examples in action in [this YouTube playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjTvNeo5ylIYvVvIbCL8VkZruf4M0XkUB). You'll find the code for those examples in the GitHub repository linked above.
