On the topic of Lego CAD systems (not LDD, but LDraw and derivatives), I've
never understood the point of them.  About the only things I figured they were
good for was a) making instructions and b) prototyping things you didn't have
the parts for.

c) documenting a MOC you want to disassemble (eg:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=133582). That is what I mainly
use it for, although I have used it for a) as well.

And documenting MOCs is a wonderful thing.  Mladen Pejic is (unless there's
someone I'm missing) is the only prolific builder who documents every creation
in LDRaw format and makes the file freely available.  I wish more builders would
do this.  I've had some fun recreating some of the models he has made to show
friend who aren't as net savvy.
