While the linked blog post focuses on usability rather than price, it is perhaps important to note that a single SolidWorks license costs about 8 times as much as you might pay for a pretty decent (if basic) FDM 3D printer. I'm not arguing that the software isn't worth that price because its scope is vast, but that price makes it basically a non-starter as a suggestion for a software package for hobbyists.
