I learned drafting in college using AutoCAD...then tried to learn Inventor when I first got involved as a FRC mentor, and had much difficulty...Solidworks has been great, and I've managed to teach it to 5 or 6 people on my team easily. I've since figure out Inventor, but still prefer Solidworks for it's intuitiveness. I have tried and failed several times to learn Creo.
