Re: Better GUI for SH3D
...one would expect the online version and the download one to mimic each other on startup.
Eh, No. An online version almost always can't perform like installed software and is partially depending on the browser. Online versions are limited to what a browser and your internet connection can handle.

The alternatives you mentioned don't even offer installed versions and the "free" versions are quickly useless and/or watermarked. Sweet Home 3D offers installers for multiple Operating Systems. Recently special versions for IOS and Android were added. The installed versions of Sweet Home 3D aren't limited in any way other than what your system can handle. I work with huge projects that could never be handled in any online software.

And then there is the privacy thing... Sweet Home 3D is open source software which you can't say about the alternatives you mentioned. If I create a 1000 different chairs on my local system I don't get bombarded with spam about chairs. Can you say the same for the alternatives you mentioned?
