It might be worse in that its user interface is prohibitively non-
intuitive. I looked at the application a few years ago, when I was in
need for a mechanical CAD application. Even the most simple operations
required a number of complex steps. There is a whole chapter in the
manual on how to move a component. The user base of brlCAD is marginal
and will probably shrink even more, as more intuitive open source CAD
applications will become a viable alternative.
