RE: "The best MCAD program you won't buy"
Now, I'm working with a commercial food appliance manufacturer. I walked in the door not knowing a thing about SE. Now, just a few months later, I'm planning on purchasing my own seat of SE and transitioning away from SW at home.
I am impressed on a daily basis with SE. It seems that everything I wanted SolidWorks to do, SE does do.
RE: "The best MCAD program you won't buy"
Frankly, that's my biggest gripe with SE. It is barely a blip on the radar. It is never compared to by other MCAD sofwares in their ads. UGS barely even mentions it in their adds. Instead, the focus is on PLM or Velocity Series. Very little about the backbone CAD package that goes into it.
If I had $5000US around, and could afford the yearly maintenance, I'd pick up a seat of SE for home play.

Having used UG for alnmost two years now.....I can see very little advanatage to it that would justify it's high price compared to SE or SWX. It has high end surfacing and curve capabilities but most companies don't need that and the Solid"x" programs are catching up.

So what do you guys think will happen to SE? Will it continue to be on the background as a underrated program? Or what is the other future possibilities?

Solid Edge gets my vote between the two.
Much easier to learn and far better value for money.
I always hear about the things Pro E can do that SE can't but I never really found any.
That said I didn't use Pro E anywhere as much as SE so maybe I just didn't find them yet.

Inventor marketing usually goes along with something like "No one handles dwg better than they do and you risk valuable data loss using a competitor". Solidworks marketing seems to just say that they have lots of converted happy Autocad users....and that they make 2d to 3d transition "painless".
