As one of the grandfathers of the original Globe plugin, I'd say
ditch it - BUT... let's see what Matthias, Martin and Sandro
think since they probably are the ones that are most up-to-date on
can now be done with the 3d map canvas and globe
I am personally +1 to remove it:
- native QGIS 3D view has most of the functionality + a lot more to offer
- there have been no real updates besides compilation / code style
fixes in last ~4 years
- dependencies on OpenSceneGraph and osgEarth have always caused troubles
- we have been on the road to kill any internal c++ plugins in QGIS
source tree
The only major piece of functionality that's not in the native QGIS 3D
view is the "earth as a globe" view - so there may be some users that
may be missing that functionality.
So if we decide to remove the plugin, the question is whether to
remove it ASAP or wait until QGIS 4.0 or wait until globe support is
in native QGIS 3D...
No objections to removing on my part.
Best
Sandro
