Depends on the use... I have found 3D mode in pcb+gl branch to be
really useful at times, and doing component placement and routing
while using 3D mode to assist in good spacing and placement. It can
be nice to have traces for this stuff, but maybe a "photo mode" is
useful for other purposes like just making a realistic 3D rendering
of the board.
