Solidworks is a great 3d modeller software. It's a pleasure to do most things in, and gets out of the way when you want it to.
The only modeller I like more for certain operations is OpenSCAD, but that's because I can understand the math operations in printed pieces in complex curves.
The one program I want to see die a firey death in source-code hell is ProEngineer, now called Creo(sote). It is patently user-unfriendly, and requires so much PITA setup to even do things like regular polygons. "Oh, you want to fillet? You better do it in the right order, or the last fillet _WILL_ fail!"
