Even autodesk is moving in that way

Intuitive - I like that word, it implies anyone with a basic skill set can work with the software without having to constantly wade through a manual to do the basics. Even after 25 years of AC use there are still essential elements that frustrate me as they don't work as expected.

ArchiCAD must move to complete AEC solution...

On bad days i dont know what to make of it anymore. I think a tool should make complex jobs easier while mantaining or improving the level of complexity of said job. If mantaining the tools takes more work than doing the job with brute force, then something is wrong either with the workflow or the tool you chose.

In my own little world I have some complex GDL objects that do what I need and save me a lot of time, but they are specific to my needs, to the majority of other users they would be irrelevant clutter. AC needs to hit that sweet spot between having the right tools for their users, a simple adaptable workflow and an uncluttered user interface. If you widen your discipline catchment then inevitably you will have too many irrelevant tools and a complex interface. I am repeating myself but the original Sketchup was a fantastic piece of programming that gave maximum return for the least amount of tools, it is something a lot of developers could learn from.
