But to suggest that one can build a 300K house with SU is misleading
as you fail to include the fact that YOUR ability to do so includes
your vast and well-developed skill-set. Your skill-set can build that
house without SU, IOW, what you got there is a sharper, better pencil.
Period.

You make sharper, better pencils sound like a bad thing. That's all
anybody is ever looking for - a better, sharper pencil (tool/thing/
whatever). I don't expect the pencil to be my only tool, and neither
would I expect any one program to get things done.

Someone could use almost any program to build a house. I could design
a house and do the design drawings in Photoshop.

SketchUp can be made to sit, stay and speak if someone wants to invest
the time. From the stuff you've posted it seems that you have found
something that works for you. We should all be so lucky.
