i somehow understand the GS dilemma ; maintaining the software "relatively easy to newbie’s or new users and fufilling the pro's (existing users) wishes .i.e the inspector while for pro user maybe seen as "flashy" version of the control pannel is not the same for beginners , it was a good thought. saying that GS is not fulfilling the users wishes is not "totally" true :
virtual trace " there was old wishes about enhancing gost story option long before virtual trace, and the enhancement was beyond any user expectation" ", defining slab material edge ..etc
What is sure is that there are some obvious wishes that are still "inexplicablely" with no clue: seo in plan, curved stairs in section, the elevator object which upgrade is not that usefull....etc , when we become a medium/professional we are hit by that .

Btw , I don't agree when we say "you can do almost everything with ArchiCAD" , we have to define what everything means : as an example you can do masterpieces in Paint, word, excel..etc . but at what expense: money, accurency & "time" , and time generally is important in the AEC world. when ArchiCAD (time to learn other softwares or to realise them in ArchiCAD)

it also depend on what kind & type of architecture we are talking about . i'm sure that revit "freeform" tools were dicted by "the architecture" of their clients demand SOM & others. maybe such demand is not as important for ArchiCAD ..i don't know

Another thing is the incertitude we have about the longevity for add-ons, especially if we rely on them (rxduplicator) or for which we (i) expected a more enhanced future (maxonform & sketchup addons...etc the fact that every add-on should be updated with each new release isn't helping very much ...
The less than available 'gsm's product providers (that give the idea maybe at how complex is gdl scripting ) and/or how important GDL object creation is for the industry.

i believe gsa will make modeling way easy and correct the basic errors that occur when trying to make 'out of the box architecture'.revit modeling is quite sensible but slow and time consuming this are areas are where gsa can match up(better rendering engine---cinema4d engine in gsa)
my suggestion look at wat ur competitors are doing and review what makes architecture right.av no fear in copying but make it worth it.
i know the programe has great potential, cos i have won competitions where revit programs where used.
but i am still tryn my hands on revit and features......
