Winch Design [0], which have built some of the world's largest superyachts [1], seem to be using AutoCad. [2] Afaik it's also the same with Lürssen (but don't quote me on that)

Likely not the "base model" of AutoCAD.

Those tools are used in ways that they're integral to processes. They have their equivalents of ticket systems that are linked to code repositories with LFSs and bunch of IDE type tools and automated and manual test systems and build systems. Their equivalents of PR discussions and Selenium screenshots needs to check all boxes in the right ways for legal and traceability purposes.

Without all that might be $175/user/month but you're not shipping apps with just vi and bare gcc.

    You're right, Linus uses Emacs.
