Anyway, and with all due respect, writing here, or anywhere else for that matter, on the belief that someone will listen our opinion is misguided to say the least. Let the ideas flow freely, even at the risk of repetition and sounding dumb. If something good comes out of it, great, and if not, so be it.

its merely an observation that LONG-WINDED responses will get lost in translation and never sustain interest.
Just sayin'.
And not sure I understand about Marines and sending food? Strange response.
Nobody forces anyone to read anything they don't want to on this forum (or so the theory presupposes).
It's an open discussion in an open forum with users discussing the software they use and the company that makes it, and how it impacts them, and one which anyone is free to take part in and no one will be indicted for declining to.
And I imagine most take the latter option.
Saying it's "
To anyone who's not interested in the discussion, the length (or brevity) of the responses is a moot point.
And to anyone that is, they still have the freedom to exercise their right to skip right past those "long-winded" responses or ask for clarification if needs be.
The rest of it was merely an attempt at levity - granted at your expense - but still.
I view people who complain...or rather,...who "
Now THAT seems to me to be the strange thing for a grown-up adult person to be doing.
But maybe that's just me.

I want to let you know that I have read through the whole discussion and created a summary of all the suggestions and also included how many times a given suggestion was posted.
I have forwarded the summary to GRAPHISOFT for their information and consideration.

Any little bit helps.
Gestures like this go a long way in restoring people's confidence that their concerns do actually matter (even a little bit) to the powers that be.

-buying new seats is too expensive.
-BIM managers (most of them are revit) don't want to learn new software and losing their position as Revit Guru and they are the most influencers for the principals/owners to go in one direction.
-So many projects running at the same in different stages with no time to test another app.
-Most new employes only know Revit (very basic by the way) .
-They spend a lot of time developing templates, details, etc for Revit.

FLOOD THY MARKET with all manners of approach.
You can't be too kind, too gentle in this dogie-dog world of software and BIM.
Its my understanding from inside sources that GS is indeed a small-compact company with limited, controlled funds.....while Autodesk (of which I hear they have a corporate office right across the street from the GS HQ in Budapest) is a company with a YUGE marketing budget......so I guess that explains that.

From someone who lives in Budapest, and visits GRAPHISOFT HQ regularly:
They don't. GRAPHISOFT is located in GRAPHISOFT Park, and there are no offices of Autodesk there. There are no streets as such in GRAPHISOFT Park, only a few roads and lots of green. There is Microsoft and SAP, and dozens of others, but no Autodesk:

Autodesk definitely flooded the market with free Revit demo versions that it bundled along its autocad package during the mid 2000´s and begginings of the 2010´s. They did it in Mexico and other Latin American countries, so its safe to guess they did it at a much bigger scale in the USA and other territories. This surely gave them a huge advantage.
Companies aren't happy with Revit because it's plain and simple...it's a KLUNKY program, not as smooth as Archicad is YET, GS has never understood the Autodesk American "Gorilla Marketing" tactic.

Trying to diminish that advantage with ideas and contributions is the whole point of this discussion i think. Lets keep it up!
