At #12299 there is a really nice update to the Jmol interface which is 
being reviewed.  It makes it very easy to do (among other things)
Change colors on plots, use axes, etc. on the fly
Do things to just one or two of multiple plotted objects in a graphic (like 
showing mesh, color)
Export to something usable in a web page easily

And of course still has fun things like stereographic views, and it solves 
a number of memory issues and other things with the Java piece.

There are a few 'needs work' issues, but it sounds like Jonathan G. will be 
able to solve them.  One thing that is different in the interface, though, 
is due to making sure not too many are open at once (for memory), namely

Old: as soon as you evaluate, something goes live (rotatable etc.)
New: as soon as you evaluate, a static image is generated and you need to 
click for the interactive image to work

It sounds like there are some potential issues with going to an

In-Between: the first (whatever that means) image is "live" but subsequent 
images are not until you ask them to be

Given that any WebGL version will not be available for some time, we want 
to keep as many backends as possible, *and* that some of the control 
mentioned above would not be available in a first-gen (e.g.) three.js 
thing, I think it's worth the time to say whether the New is something you 
can live with.
