Learning revit or archicad for rhino-grasshopper

Indeed, though we have recently gone in a predominantly Revit direction for future BIM projects.

Personally speaking, I think I like ArchiCad more (as a software) and the Grasshopper–ARCHICAD
Live Connection is pretty cool. That said, the black-boxed nature and the fact that scripting on the ArchiCad side is C++ is really a bummer in terms of developing computational methods and pipelines. Here Rhino and Revit are more similar (i.e. both being .NET environments with built-in visual programming and scripting interfaces in IronPython and C#) and thus lends themselves to a consistent development experience IMO.
