I agree with all of you. I want a great main program to have a
standard base to start with, and then customize it the way I want.
IPAS are great, and I think add-ons are a must in all programs.
Fortuantely, it seems that the developers of software think the same
way, and add-ons for everything are jumping like mushrooms after a
rainy day. That's the software I need. Software that can grow with
you. And the same with hardware.
What I don't like about AutoCAD, is that they are getting more and
more add-on programs (like AME) in the main pack. 95% of the
architects I know don't need AME, neither 3d for their projects (hey!
They have the 3d gang to do it). If they keep the price tag the same,
it's OK. But of they start to increase the price, that's not the way.
Another reason to love add-on structures (of course, the add-ons have
to be highly integrated with the main program).
