People's needs and experience vary(also variations in OS and hardware, file size and content).
For me v2015 finally showed some progress. It's faster, many things are fixed, and LayOut is better and faster. I am, after all, the target audience SU was originally designed for, making drawings for buildings and not extensive organic modeling needs or tiny, or huge things. I didn't think Google's development was all that great or have a need for the GoogleEarth building stuff. Rather see it in the hands of an AEC company (not that there was a sea-change in direction anyway).
You make a number of points on the 3DWH which I didn't like much before and rarely use now, so hard to comment on that.

Yeah and I forgot: They replaced the young beaty girl with some old ugly man....
my God, I ask - why so stupid changes?
Same feeling here. I have her template copied for my template page in 2015 though. -
if you mistakenly missed the [than SU] in your title, I will agree...

Layout? tell me who uses this? (But I understand that architects and only building makers do)
64 Bit - OK, I can accept this is valuable, but with Ruby console those are "hidden" changes.

OK, I understand that SK was designed for building making at first, BUT - and this is a BIG BUT, I DON't want to continue in developing this software ONLY in this very specific and profiled users.
BECAUSE, I love SKetchup and this soft has some unique and great tools and interface, that it would be very pitty to focus only for making houses.I use SKetchup for Game assets, and a lot of my friends as well, because in many ways it is better for use than high profi maya, 3ds or cinema. And we all would like to see some missing features and tools to be able make my models only in SKEtchup without cooperation with other programs, like before.
And this is why I also based this topic, I can see that Trimble heads this software ONLY to the architect tool, and I ask why, when it is here a BIG potential to make it a complex tool. - ANd I add - Still remaining easy and "light"... -

)lol.. prepare yourself to catch
i'd try to explain the oddness of such a statement but really, this is something a person need to explain to themselves. (from my pov at least.. i pretty much only preach morals to my child

i've had (and have) similar sentiments.. the flipside is that if sketchup were what i want it to be, millions of people would no longer like sketchup.. the tools you seemingly want are out there.. just not sketchup.. basically, if you want a complex tool, use a complex tool.. maybe blender will work better for you.
-
@OP, I don't agree. JQL already made a nice list of reasons why I also don't agree. Apparently you don't use plugins that benefit from 64 bits, Ruby 2.0 etc. I do agree the materials & mapping should benefit from some Trimble-love.
-
Certainly lots to do to improve without getting overly complex (and use plugins for that). But what this has to do with Google or Trimble, IDK. Same team and leaders basically control SketchUp development and I assume they don't do many things, because they CAN'T (or can't yet), and not because some suit in Trimble is telling them "Don't improve it."

Re: Reported topic
A warning has been issued and we await reply

...there ya go.
Somebody noticed "it is pretty weird in here"..
-
well, this is probably my last comment here, regarding my previous post where I did a mistake -: there should be "I didnΕ₯ play" a 'l' is missing, of course
so - Never say Blender again! - I tried it, and my opinion it is exactly opposite to the sketchup absolutely misserable user interface.
Yes my requested features can be done through Plugins. And yes, plugins make SK 150% better. So why did I link this topic with Trimble? Because I have just feeling (my private opinion) that Trimble uses SK just to gain many new paid users, and SK is for them just a tool of earning money.
What is difficult to agree with fact that there is practically no difference between 2013-15? Meanwhile there are to many words about new versions and empty words - its just advertising.
Those minor improvements cannot overlay the 4 year of idleness.
Wanted say that with Google the things would go in different way, and more usable for us.
Are here a normal people, or am I talking just to Trimble and SKetchucation employees, who must agree with official way.. ? -

No normal people here, only over 300.000 SketchUcation employees...

Google had decided SU [SketchUp] was of no further use to them, i.e. 'at it's end of life' , so, yes, it should have gone a different way, it should have been killed off and the developers sacked...
Fortunately for us, part of the SU user base, they agreed to sell it to Trimble instead of burying it...
Like the majority here, I don't work for Trimble or SCF , but I do have issues with people who admit to be using illegal software commenting negatively.
Trimble have allowed SU to develop way past anything Google ever desired...
and while there are lots still to be improved, this time it may actually happen...

What confuses me is that someone that uses Sketchup as a hobby for making game assets and mods has a need for a pro version, is there something the pro version offers that you need which the free version does not? if not why the need for a pirated pro version?
Secondly why complain about something you stole?
-
I would hardly refer to the layout improvements and full 64 bit as nothing.
-
holy cow there are only saint moralists...
Is only one reason why I tried full version, I needed export into 3ds properly, I thought that plugin exports were less professional, but I was mistaken. Embedded paid 3ds export makes the same issue (edges are not smoothed like in SK)You absolutely didn't catch the clue if your answers aim only to my piracy, instead of the main point.
tell me what new will be in SKetchup 2016 version.... improved ruby console? Or maybe 128 bit support... oh yes, ... perfect reason why to waste money for another buying...

Ok, so this chap earned a ban. Nice start to the year.
-
All I can say is that I was very concerned when Trimble took over, but I am more than pleased with the direction it's taken so far. The 2015 version was not without it's problems and some of the changes were not to my liking, but overall (IMO) it's a much improved program and I am now able to do what I need to do much easier than before.
And hey, how can you really complain about something that's free? (although I have been known to do that from time to time ) -
Nice throw down Rich! That was too funny!
