You're free to choose which editor you'll work with, but Kame-Editor is the best to date, having more features and support compared to Usagi3DS or YATA online. However, Usagi is still widely used among theme creators and is often recommended for beginners for its ease of use and simple UI.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Usagi3DS and YATA online are very outdated. Kame-Editor continues to receive fairly regular updates.
