No. 3D was a mistake.

3D benefits are just not worth it.
When it comes to custom maps, the most popular games are by faaaar Doom 1/2 and Warcraft 3. No other games in history of humanity came even close, ever. And no one ever will. All because they have non-existent entry floor level while the ceiling is still high enough.
GZDoom allows to create 3D levels without actually working with 3D. Kinda. And that's a good thing. It's noob friendly. Most of those new boomer shooters would never existed in the first place if the only option was Quake engine.

as a quakefag, after seeing what happened to the q1sp scene once trenchbroom blew up and youtube tutorials became widespread (not trying to diss sleepwalkr, tb itself is a great editor and it's what made bsp mapping finally click for me), i'm tempted to say that build not having a more accessible editor isn't actually a bad thing. popularity is kind of a bitch
the thief community is in a similar state due to dromed having an incredibly steep learning curve, but the games still get new fan missions semi-regularly and afaik a new editor is slowly being developed, so things might start changing in the next couple of years who am i kidding, there are like a dozen people on this board who care about thief
