Biggest pro with Solidworks besides it´s easy of use and great looking graphics is it´s weldment feature. You ca create 3D sketches very fast and ten continue to imports weldment structures and create welds. Surfacing wise it has only the most basic surfacing tools compared to CATIA.
To make matters short. Different industries use different CAD products. Automotive and aviation uses CATIA and NX, tool makers use SolidWorks, Inventor etc. You learn the software which you need in your industry. You want to work with cars ? Learn CATIA and NX.
