BIM tools have so many advantages. An advantage that I would like to first mention is the advantage of being able to provide 3D and prospectives drawnings in a matter of minutes even seconds, which is a great way an architect or a designer may communicate with the owner who might have no idea what a floor plan is. Other great advantages of BIM tools is that it allows engineers from different backgrounds and architects be able to communicate to achieve the wants and needs of a project owner in a timely manner through a single program or different programs which work together, and this is in some cases what is called an Integrated design system. The advantage of simulations that can be done through BIM tools makes it even more great and powerful, while being able to have the system run calculations to determine an appropriate system for a given building, which I believe is great for some aspects for a RFP "Request for proposal" since it's based on estimates and nothing precise is needed.
B3: Revit v. Other Software
The links of the articles you added in your post are useful to especially the Revit Vs. AutoCad, which shows how autocad is still the number 1 tool for drafting floor plans.
I agree with you about BIM tools can't replace the work of engineer especially if you have "high level analysis" as you stated but some tools are considered fair enough to perform design or simulations for analysis, but may be design in terms of a structural aspects still remain a mystery.

Since you mentioned how BIM tools allow seeing how design are interconnect some business have become big on using virtual reality to allow the owner see how truly the architectural system of a building is interconnected.
