I worked developing a Revit plugin for one of the biggest furniture manufacturers in the US for the past six months and despite the fact that Revit has a really good UX for people who is used to it, the development side is not as good feeling like they have been bringing the same stuff forward for the last ten years which turns their API into a bloated unfriendly piece of software.

Now we are starting to develop a replacement using Configura which is a swedish company working on the same space for the last 20 years or so and although they have a proprietary language and no documentation at all, still makes for a much better developer experience and game changing UX where users can design, render photos and produce movies of their project from within the tool. It's a whole different world.

However, both tools are, in my opinion, stuck in the past since I expect to see some competitor coming up in the next few years bringing the same experience in a web environment.
