The devil you know is better than the devil you don't.įrom an industry perspective, SW is an entry level CAD system. I think this is the default position of a lot of SW users. A lot of my peers complained about rebuild times and features that would fail for inexplicable reasons, but I often was able to find a way around these issues and would defend it often because I hadn't used anything else.
