Agreed, we detail everything in Revit, including legacy jobs that are still
in AutoCAD. We find standard control and enforcement (leaders, text,
linework, etc) to be much more efficient in Revit. Not to mention the
automatic view coordination. Revit's detail components are very powerful and
speed up the process 10 fold. I've used autocad for many years and I can
draft faster in revit, then I can in autocad. We do both residential and
commercial.
