I dropped Archicad last year (after 29 years!) due to their price gouging and negative development. It was costing more each year and productivity was dropping. I didn’t think SU would cut it fully as a replacement but I have been surprised. However, as others have already stated you need to learn how to use it for your workflow and also look for the addons like Profile Builder that are capable of doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Once you get the hang of it, you will come to appreciate the simplicity and flexibility is its greatest asset. And there are many helpful & knowledgable people here to get you over those early challenges.
