For my part I will wait for the release, work with it or see it at work, then form an opinion.

I can´t say that those pictures impress me. Any modeling tool can do them, even Sketchup.

In the developed drawing and construction doc stage . I mostly use "cmd shift 4" Mac, take a screen shot of the area in question,. Drag the image off my desk top into mail, suggest my prefered solution. Steve my engineer emails me back with Yes thats fine and may make some suggestions.
At the most he scribbles some notes on the printed PDF and emails them Back to me "

How many percent of Archicad users do you think can model this kind of stuff? Even if you can, how many complex profiles do you have to make? How many SEO's do you have to do? How many 3d views must you set before saving as GDL part? How many layer intersection groups do you have to adjsut to make sure they don't have unintended clean up of complex profile walls? And then multiply this by the number of custom stone shapes in this project? And what if that shape had to change?
If at the same time you actually had to "design" this, how does your brain have enough room left over after sorting out all those steps to even think about the design aspect?
If we had a easier modeling tool, we can actually think about design, rather than how to use roofs, complex profiles, invisible layers and such to make one specific form.
Frankly, after using AC for 4 years +, I still would have a hard time modeling this sort of stuff.
