Having just read a very insightful book, in the tradition of Freakonomics, called "Predictably Irrational" from Dan Ariely from the MIT, some things got a bit clearer.
The book is on social economics, and tries to explain some of human behaviors, or at least describe them.
One thing that I found germane to this endless Revit / ArchiCad discussion is the idea that people fall in love with their possessions, and the more time they spend with them the more irrational they are about their real value.
The seller of a house always thinks it is worth more, and the buyer less.
Worse, neither one can understand the other´s way of looking at that particular house.
I these R/AC discussions, we always have two sellers and no buyer, so it will never come to any conclusion.
That said, I believe my Archicad is beautiful and Revit is garbage.
