The "foolish and blindly" part is up to you. I'm using Revit because 1) I enjoy using it and 2) I like being employed. Like it or not, the industry is shifting from AutoCAD (2D) to Revit (3D). Many of the architects in my area are switching to Revit, and therefore, MEP firms who are using Revit MEP are going to have the edge. Sure, Revit MEP is far from perfect, but it will only improve with constructive criticism instead of ranting and raving.
