The moat autodesk has is surreal. In AEC atleast, students learn with Autodesk softwares in university and colleges. The softwares (autocad, revit, maya, etc., many others) itself is complex, require domain know-how to build competing product. I don't see how anyone can compete with them anymore. They have the industry by the balls, and they know it. Competing against Autodesk is like competing against Google in search.
