I totally disagree. While there is a learning curve to Inventor, it is at least intuitive to find stuff. AutoCAD added so much bloat over the years that it is so hard for the casual user to find stuff. I won't get into how much I detest ACAD.
As far as Inventor goes, don't get bogged down with all the capabilities. Keep the modelling simple and use the basic functions of it.
In fact, the way that Inventor tells you how to make stuff is not the best method in the long run. Hint, never make a new part in the context of an assembly. Inventor allows you to create a new part and select a surface to mate it to. I never do this. I always create a new part outside and then place it in the assembly afterwards. You have more control of the parts and mates this way.
