I guess it obviously has more functionality than canvas3d if it's upstream Sage's default 3d viewer. But it's also not exactly right to imply canvas3d is non-interactive because one can rotate the plot at least with the mouse.

I was under the impression that canvas3d works only in sagenb, not in
jupyter. At least it never worked for me. I never saw JSmol in action
but I would assume it's like Jmol.
