Hi all,
Some of you may be aware of this already, but here at SCRI we've been working on producing a visualization tool for NGS assembly data called Tablet. Our main goal was to create something that's not only fast and provides nice visualizations, but also be both easy to use and easy to install.
Tablet was designed to aid our work here, which is primarily on plant data, but we've had some success loading in some human stuff too (just for fun obviously!).
We've attempted to get working parsers for a wide range of common formats (ace, afg, maq, soap) and we currently have experimental support for sam too (until we can get the Picard API working properly).
Please give it a try, and let us know what you think, either here, or by emailing us directly (there's an option within Tablet itself to do this). It's available in both 32 and 64bit versions, for all the usual suspects (Windows, OS X, Linux, Solaris), and can be downloaded from the following URL:
http://bioinf.scri.ac.uk/tablet
We also have a paper in advance (open) access with Bioinformatics, which is linked to from the above.
Tablet is still very much work in progress though, so do feel free to suggest any enhancements and improvements you'd like to see.

(ps: I think these attached pictures are going to be tiny, but the full versions are on the web site)
