They now acknowledge that ADT doesn't succeed very often at BIM (though it can if you can just learn everything about that wretched piece of software), so the message has changed over the years.
I remember when Autodesk was publishing on their own web sites about how ADT was going to be discontinued

Tell me something you can do with Revit you can not do with ADT?

Why is it wrong? It's powerful and convenient, and I wouldn't be caught without it. Don't knock it til you try it😉
Revit users do complain about some things Revit does -- this is not one of them.

Then look at the difference in a tabular format....it stands out like a sore thumb! Being able to make these changes in the schedule to drive the model are valuable. Imagine this was a project with 600 doors? Go find the wrong one in that project model to fix it....ugh!
And the most sensible way for the architect to make changes in 3D model is to edit 3D model itself, not the schedule. It's the easiest way to avoid modeling mistakes.
