Good question. I was and still am very fond of acadr12 with the softdesk auto architect software. The ease of use on that version is far superior. Granted there may be some newer features I am unaware of that are interesting. I honestly believe that autodesk can not be using input from people who use the program on a daily basis. I like the older idea, that when I use to draw a line, it was a dumb line. I gave it meaning by how I used it. Now, in order to put a window into a wall, you have to use a wall command. Also, if the windows or doors do not exist, you have to jump through hoops to create them and they look generic and terrible. I wonder if Autodesk will ever look back into the past and bring back a less complicated program for an old schooler as myself. Started on the board / hand drawing....first version of acad used was release 9. I have 2000 at work, but only use it when absolutely needed. Otherwise, good 'ole 12 works great.

I of course don't know for sure but my guess is they have to keep comming up with new versions so they can obsolete old versions and sell the new one. That way they basically have a single software package they can just keep repackaging and selling over and over.
They ran out of useful addons a long time ago. So now they just add more crap, and call it a new version. I also like how the older versions can't read the drawings produced by the new version another scheme I'd say.
For my last upgrade I switched to solid edge. Just started using it so I can't say as yet how it's going to work out but autodesk can shove it. I am not playing their game any longer.

Does anyone know of an alternative CAD program that you can just start to use like inteliCAD (ProgeCAD), which I find awkward.

If you are into MCAD, try their Inventor product - pretty easy to learn and use.
