All of those top notch architects use the API instead of the OOTB family editor.
GDL is indeed powerful. Very powerful. The logic and "smartness" of properly coded objects is just amazing. Code something right, with plenty of options, and you literally can get thousands of combinations with a single object/code. Revit doesn't come even close in this regard.
Those top notch architects use the API to extend functionality when the software can do what they need, but not OOTB.

At first I was impressed by that suite for the price, but then I imagined actually trying to manage and install all of those licenses of software and I would need 2 or 3 monster computers to handle all of it. Autodesk is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at their users, why? And how productive are their customers going to actually be? Would you want 10 varied and complicated piece of software, or one efficient and simple piece of software?
The user experience in ArchiCAD is so much more enjoyable than any of those listed in the above suite and I have the best collaboration experience as well. I don't need a 2D cad program when ArchiCAD handles DWGs and layers extremely well.

Not to 'pile on', but that upgrade is worth it for 3DS Max Design alone. All that other stuff is a bonus (Showcase and Sketchbook are pretty slick too).

Well, i guess then that Archicad is far better then Revit. We should all be happy for using the best software and pity the Revit users.

I know Laci is long gone, but where are Balazs Simonyi, Laszlo Vertesi and Gyuri Nyitrai??

Returning to the subject, I want to express concern because of the prolonged release of videos about the tool "shell".
