So ... who do you guys think will win tomorrow night's game? Brazil or Belgium?
As a Belgian, I'm rooting for the Red Devils, obviously, but I'm not altogether sure our defense is going to hold.
Also, we're Belgium. 
Still ... ought to be a decent game! 
They are an offering to the satanic death cult that is FIFA.

So, we could reverse all this discourse and say: why aren't the other 3d modellers intuitive like sketchup?
Because those are capable of doing complex stuff. Stuff that just isn't intuitive.
As per hipster law, I hereby include a picture that adds a certain ironic je ne sais quoi to my -obviously insightful- comment.

Times change. Products evolve. People's needs evolve.
Sure. But whatever companies do with their products, is their prerogative. The opposite is socialism, isn't it?
Sorry, Chipp. I couldn't resist. 
Yeah ... it is indeed. I understand the frustrations, believe me, but if there's anything I learned using Modo, it's that SketchUp, limited as it is, is really good at basic architectural modeling -and fast,too.
It can be an annoying bit of kit, at times, but it's not very likely I'll ever stop using it.
My 2 cents as a non-professional …
I too have cursed SU many, many times over the course of the years for its inability to cope with high poly models. Loudly, even.
And then the spirit of the Buddha touched me, and I thought: why not love it for what it can do, rather than hate it for what it can’t? Since then I’ve basically used SU as an archviz modeling plugin for Modo. I get far less headaches that way.
Sure, it’d be great if I could do everything inside of SU, but honestly, I’m fairly confident that’ll never happen.
I want me some consultants, too.
That Google translation isn't bad at all. Amazing, really.
Luc, doe maar wat TIG zegt. Hij weet waarover hij het heeft. Laat weten of het gewerkt heeft. Prettig weekend.
Luc, just do as TIG says. He knows what he's talking about. Let us know whether it worked. Have a nice weekend.
Luc, het zou handig zijn als je je van het Engels bediende. Zo maak je aanzienlijk meer kans dat je probleem opgelost geraakt.

Oh You sweet talker... I always knew you wanted to get your hands on my buns.
Don't believe him when he tells you he loves you. He does that every time.
'Adjective', not 'adverb'. Thank you, Rich.
On topic: do some more! I also enjoyed the dinosaur one.
Oooh, pretty! Great texturing! Great atmosphere as well!
I have my own adverb! 
I must confess I feel strange about a great many things. Thus that font is the least of my worries. 
Seriously, though: I wanted the image have an 'IKEA feel'. IKEA used to use Verdana, so that's what I went with.
Have a nice weekend.

Also got their Photo app. Just as good!
Yeah, that one looks good as well. Not even €60. 
As I needn't be cutting edge -not a pro- that tiny investment would fulfill my photo editing needs for years.
Pretty cool.
Thanks for le tippe, Pilou.
This one has possibly been mentioned before (I didn't read the whole thread): Affinity Designer. Works great, dirt cheap (€54.99!) and loads of fun.
I have no idea whether the app's up to professional standards, but I'm having a blast. (Pay no attention to the compression artifacts in the image below -not Designer's fault. )
€54.99!
No, I don't work for 'em.
