It's interesting to look back to Kraftwerk's first album, Ralf und Florian (1973). Much of the music was made with acoustic instruments, including flute, hand claps, vocal intonations, resonant piano and percussion mixed in with electronic instruments. Not enough could be said about how acoustics could add meaningful richness to music. Somehow the subtleties of studio acoustics was lost in the 90s, because digital mixing inside the computer could artificially emulate any kind of spatial environment using software, but ultimately the soul of music can and will be lost in the effort. AI music rests my case.
Let's face it guys... We are all working to pay Autodesk software. We are all hearing for more than 25 years from Autodesk, that our workflows will be way better with the next release! And here we are still in this shit hole. Man! something has to change in this industry. Geez!
There are alternatives and if you're tired of the evil empire, look into making your own like That Open Company, for one, is doing. Problem is, is that Adesk pumps millions into marketing so other options are drowned out and the likelihood that IT looks into the alternatives is slim unless they do their due diligence. It's a self-reinforcing feedback loop that's even more enhanced when independent creators / plugin makers / etc add to the company's marketing for them. More than that though, is when industries, like the AECO, make standards based on THEIR file formats. That's pernicious and I have a real problem with that.
All of this technical pain is the result of the AEC companies striving for full un-compromised parity of skills for their employess -- "proficiancy in Revit requireed". I always worked on my own, and having Vectorworks handle CAD, doing Autocad exports. Vectorworks does CAD better than ACAD, and I can work in BIM, too. It also imports and references virtually every other file format, including Revit. I never have to really fight Vectorworks, either, because there are several ways to work around something - there are no imposed limits.

@@bobholtzmann yes, it's different for small and medium firms than it is for large firms (and their consultants).
