Revit houses in medium sized firms are difficult nut to crack. Im sure tier ones have in housr swe's working on making revit less cumbersome.
Take this with a grain of salt as I'm in academia now, outside everyday software implementation in AEC, but I think that's changed / changing. My background is in the profession, and I'm a self-taught computational designer. Before going academic I built a lot of tools for small architecture firms, implemented BIM workflows for them, etc. So I talked to but didn't work with the tech tooling people at large AE or C firms. That said any time I look at the kind of software and tools being built at those companies, it seems like they've become increasingly comfortable with needing relatively full stack development.
