ANSYS vs Abaqus: If you could only use one for the rest of your career, which would you choose and why?

I've been learning both ANSYS and Abaqus during my graduate studies and I'm curious about the community's opinion.

Which one do you prefer for:

•User friendliness

•Learning curve

•Nonlinear analysis

•Contact problems

•Composites

•Scripting/automation

•Industry demand

If you had to pick only one for the next 10 years, which would it be and why?

Menetrey-williams or drucker-prager

Anyone knows how to calculate linear hardening/softening part?

And which one is better for solid 185 and grout menetrey-williams or drucker-prager?

And should I have a miso table with this code or not?

ANSYS APDL: How to reduce initial stiffness of grout concrete?

I'm doing validation test and My grouted CHS X‑joint model is too stiff at the beginning. I’ve lowered E and FKN, but still not matching the experiment. Any practical tips?

I tried concrete with a solid 65 model and drucker-prager and Monetry-williams and I didn't get good results but I'm not about calibration.
