Chief Architect versus Revit, Sketchup, and Autocad for traditional conceptual home design and other tasks

As a newly minted Home Designer Pro user and potential upgrader to a higher end program, I appreciate this topic and thread... I especially liked the openness of most to discuss this. That you all for your input.

I want to like Chief but I feel like I have to spend more time finding fixes and workarounds.

This is a completely fruitless conversation, as it is taking place in a CA forum. This means that entirely biased CA users will be giving what they think is an honest opinion, however, because they have already heavily invested in CA, will no doubt go looking for more CA pros and more cons in other software. It is a natural human, albeit prideful, thing to do.
