In SW, I can move the point to a location (seriously, like 2-3mm away from where it was), and then the point is in the middle of nowhere close where I wanted it to be (yeah yeah, I shouldn't have to constrain everything while I'm trying to just do a rough sketch for the software to be intuitive to use). Inventor is good about when you move the view to certain +/- angles, it assumes you're just trying to move the point in one axis. Worse is that if I just want to move a single point in a single direction, it doesn't constrain the other axis.

Where Inventor makes good assumptions about what the user wants to do, SW just tries snapping onto everything (necessitating turning that off). Splines in 3D sketches are so terrible to work with. It feels like I'm fighting the software to do what I want at every turn. But goddamn if it isn't so un-intuitive to use. I know that my comfort with Inventor is because it's what I initially learned, and I keep that in mind whenever I'm frustrated with SW. It crashes so much, that if I didn't know any better, I would say I had written it. SW is the goddamn clunkiest, biggest piece of trash software I've ever used. We had one other semi-ME, and he already had SolidWorks setup, so that became the standard. My biggest regret at my current company, is not pushing harder to move to Inventor when I first came on board.
