This just isn’t true any more. Is SolidWorks buggy? Sometimes, yeah. But with the right machine and knowing how to model things correctly, crashes are rare. Maybe once every couple of weeks - and I’m using it 6+ hours per day.
The reason SolidWorks gets a bad rap (mostly from Reddit) is because the majority of posters are students with shitty computers.
I had highend Dell workstation running NX, I thought I’d try SolidWorks. The SW installer crashed repeatedly, I called the local reseller support…they were like yeah sometimes it’s just like that. lol. SW is OK but it is a mid level CAD product, and starts to breakdown when building in lots of automation. Solid Edge is a more robust mid level CAD tool.

Been using SolidWorks for over 20 years.
