REVIT is a stumbling block

It gets in the way of my creativity and workflow. I fight it, instead
of working or acomplishing a wonderful design.

It took 1/2 hour

It took a half hour to delete the mullion. With the help of our office
REVIT expert. And, it just looks like it's gone, it's still actually
there, because we couldn't figure out how to delete it. Total cost to
delete the mullion to the customer, probably about $500. Is it worth
it REVIT?

I want to SMASH you

I want to delete a mullion. I don't need it anymore. It does not work
they way REVIT says it should. The help file is lame. People online
tell me what to do, but they are wrong, it does not work. Now, instead
of working this afternoon, I will spend several hours just trying to
delete a stupid mullion. SERIOUSLY!?!

Why no search?

Why isn't there a search function in REVIT? I mean, I want to search
through my views and sheets to find something without having to read
the titles of hundreds of views. Likewise in detail components, etc.
Why not have little icons of the detail components, views, etc? I
mean, I'm a visual person and it does take lots of time to read
through this stuff.

Disappearing!

I mean REVIT, how do you think I can assemble a set of documents when
you keep deleting things on me? Do you really think that because I
delete an object, that I also don't want the dimension? Do you really
thing it's useful for you to delete grids? Do you really think
deleteing or screwing up details is in MY best interest? This makes
me, and my firm look like fools. Do you think we want to look like
fools because of a stupid piece of stupid software? I guess you do,
because you are stupid.
