Wes, I think you make a really good point. The guys developing all these programs are smart and hardworking. I think we would all prefer to talk to developers and other architects who use the programs rather than sales guys who never studied architecture or know what it means to be a lowly intern crunching on a sea of interior elevations.

I have not used any but the most basic stairs in Revit so I can't say much one way or the other about that. The relationship problems I have experienced in Revit are with the automatic component relationships, particularly in structures.

I have a fundamental objection to an excess of automatic functions in any software. If the software is going to make assumptions and take actions on those assumptions about how I want to work it needs to be correct very nearly 100% of the time and be very transparent not only in what it is doing but also in how to override the behavior.

I remember when free OCR software was touting 97% accuracy as a good thing but that means that 3 out of 100 characters are wrong. That would be about 9 mistakes just in this post. If these errors are not easily discovered and fixed then the functions quickly become more trouble than they are worth.
In my opinion, all the ocr tool can't provide a 100% accurate of recognition text from image. so 97% is very high.
