I suspect Fusion 360 is going to trounce SolidWorks over the next decade … driven by strong adoption in universities, colleges and even high schools. I’ve been using parametric (data flow) visualization and modelling tools since the mid 1990s (AVS, IBM DX Explorer, Sidefx Houdini). It’s a really powerful paradigm… and Fusion is designed this way from the ground up.
(No, I’m not paid to say the above. I’m just a very satisfied commercial end-user. )
