I think it's clunky and outdated in many ways. There are some things that drive me up a wall, like the issues with the selection of the units you want to use when designing a part or creating assemblies.
For example, in Solidworks you can change between units (millimeters to inches, for example) any time you want and as often as you want as you are modeling a part. In NX you have to run a script to convert the part file from one unit system to the other. It's an absolute pain in the ass.

I haven't used NX in a about five years, I seem to remember having issues with mixed unit assemblies as well.

That said, if you are designing a rocket with 1,000 of your closest friends it seems NX is a better tool for the job. I've never tried to use SW in large team settings.
