As for all the Blood and Sweet talk, I generally agree but the software is
still pretty new and some issues have been addressed. There are still a lot
of issues, from parts that are extremely hard to work with (boggies) to the
fact that the software itself requires a pretty hefty computer to run. I
think the LDraw compatability is a big bonus but even that has some issues.
My hope is that now that part fulfillment is in place that they can
concentrate on the usability of the software. • --snip--

I doubt that LDD will ever be a truly powerful CAD software simply because it
isn’t designed for power users. I very much doubt I will ever be able to build
most of my designs using it simply because I often need very fine movement and
need to get bricks to do things at many different angles usually in a small
space. It’s not a particular lack of LDD provided it does what it is meant to
well ie. provides a usable interface for children. And with ldraw input I have
no need to worry about it anyway, I can use the more powerful CAD packages
developed for the ldraw system. It is much like how a graphics designer won’t be
using Photoshop Elements for work.
That said, it can certainly be improved upon from its current state and I’m sure
it will be.
