most of the times the chance of software has nothing to do with what u like best...( i envy the many here that select the soft of their choice, of course)
agencies you work for, companies u work for, cities u work for, etc, etc.
also dictate what tools you should use, and as humans we get used to different things quickly... !!
having competition is a good thing, and learning (the competition) other and new tools and software is an even better thing....(like speaking several language in a way)
looking forward to see all these bim software running out of 'new tools' , so they can have the time to fix their broken things... the quality control is not there
of course the autodesk sales people are already scheduling visits to their clients to show whats new in revit 12 ... a good thing ??

There is always going to be something I like better in Revit than what is ArchiCAD....the same the other way around....
I have known (or played) with Revit since Autodesk bought them out....but I was using ArchiCAD a couple of years prior to that.
The next version of ArchiCAD basically has phases, which is something Revit has had as long as I can remember....but this new "Point Cloud" uhhh....Architerra? Been using it for the past 4 or 5 years... I'll have to grab some point cloud files I got that I used in ArchiCAD (Architerra) and see what the differences are..
As for the comments on 3D tagging....big improvement. While you can always label something in a sheet view, tagging get the information from the object itself. So if something get renamed or more info added it automatically updates....manually tagging means manually editing! But the tagging of a linked file is what I really like. Since we coordinate models with other disciplines, the ability to tag their objects has been an issue in the shared model concept.
So....are people that are using Revit going to flock over to ArchiCAD? ....I doubt it. I can see firms using both products if they are working with other consultants that are using ArchiCAD as well. I see lots of questions at AUGI about linking in ArchiCAD models into Revit....unfortunately I only see ArchiCAD making that move to allow linking Revit into ArchiCAD (IFC?...haven't tried it yet)...
Revit vs ArchiCAD....the ultimate Tug-O-War
(btw, my Revit Reseller hates me whenever they introduce a new Revit feature....and I say ArchiCAD has had it for a long time)
