Thanks. As usual I need to read the manual before opening my mouth.

I would be, but there's some kind of issue on the Mac when I attempt to
use the KAT demo. Since there's no nearby world, it never stops trying
to connect and this freezes Squeak.

The SL tools are far more primitive than what could be created in
Croquet. I could see a point where Croquet could become a private
sandbox for content creation. There are many "off-world" SL-oriented
tools that are available, but as much as possible, people prefer to
remain immersed in SL while creating. The ability to keep chatting with
friends and monitor and participate in group IM within Croquet would
make it more attractive to use than any SL-dedicated tool, though of
course PhotoShop will still be required for the high end texture
creation and manipulation.
The ability for 2 or more people to be working on the same project is
also a huge plus.
