Regardless, our personal viewpoints are not actual usage numbers. Anyone have real numbers of CAD software usage /marketshare ?

As far as "real" numbers go, I don't think you'll get a cohesive list, but I've found it useful to look at engineering job postings looking for Mechanical Engineers. Most will have some CAD software requirement. Just from my searching, for mechanical engineering anyway, Pro/E seems to be in rather high demand, even more than SolidWorks. For other engineering disciplines, it can be skewed toward other software. For example, Aerospace Engineering will demand more CATIA than other disciplines will.
