Sounds like a hearty endorsement to me
Oh, come now... we all know the same is true for SL builds, or indeed any other form of user-created content.

There's no doubt that some folks will require 3d for what they want... and we don't have that right now. But it is also true that 2d has big advantages. Among them, usability, ease of content creation, and distribution via the web (including much faster logins, lower tech reqs, etc).

As to why would a really good 3d content creator care? Because if, as you said, it appeals to the masses because of its ease, then that's where an audience for your creations is. The best MP objects are sourced from 3d.
