I have using AutoCAD since 1989. Recently I got a trial version of ADT 2005 which I am still figuring out, but like it so far. In the past I have used Animator, 3DS, and even I got to play a bit with ArchT back in the 1990's.
I have never used Archicad. However, in this company they used it unitl 3 years ago. Even, last year they contracted a job out that was originally all done in Archicad. I cann't even tell the number of headaches we had dealing with it.
There are rumors of going back to Archicad and dropping Autocad as soon as the team of about 10 people gets familiarized with it in a few months, after some sort of training.
I like to know the pros and cons of Archicad to have better arguments for helping prevent such a move, which is mostly due to budget constraints: Two 5-seat licenses of ACAD 2005 are something like 10 times more expensive than Archicad's.
THX,
