SketchUp is also not a design tool - it is a quick 3D sketching tool for linear objects
mainly and some curves and also can be used to visualize architecture as well.
In particular SU has a realtime sun shadow option which helps exploring and
communicating architecture orientation in at a given point on the earth at a given time
during the year.

Cekuhnen, please describe what a design tool is.

Render api will be a big step to use blender as a scene setup tool. If you think about kerkythea and indigo goes commercial, sketchup users won’t have a good free rendering solution.
