I guess it depends what you use it for. Definitely it is not OK for engineering or 3D printing.

But it is really quite good for planning interiors, where no other tool I have found is as easy to navigate and change a model in broad and in detail in one fluid movement.

The latest version is the best, least buggiest version I have used in the past 5 years at least. It is well with buying a classic licence before they shelve it in November.

But though I easily get the value from the cost of subscription, the fact that you cannot access your models in the event it expires is really shit. (Well, you might be able to access your models on the web version, but mine generally weigh in at 150-200mb, they just don't load.)

Plus at least half the value of sketchup is in extensions from people like thomthom, fredo, or eneroth (and being able to their in your own script here or there). Do these even work on the web version?
