Solidworks is easier to learn than Inventor and Pro/E. Pro/E is arguably more powerful (and more prevalent in industry), but it's not going to matter for FRC purposes.

Solidworks is the best bet for it's blend of ease of use and adoption in industry. Inventor is going to be a distant third in terms of industry use.
Yeah, I don't think I'll be using them again. It just made it so easy to start with a requirement and build parts to suit the requirement. It's really not that bad when 1 person is working on the model, but when you have a team of people working simultaneously, it's just a nightmare.

This is a mistake you do once... I'm sure it's responsible for setting us back at least a couple days this build season.
