Pro/E doesn't leave you waiting. Instead, it abruptly exits with no warning.

(No, I'm not calling it Creo. I'm old and stuck in my ways.)

CATIA let's you pull the trigger. When it shits the bed, you get a little window with "Click OK to terminate" and you can't do anything but click OK.

Didn't save for the last hour? Too bad. Better luck next time.

Do people still use catia? What industry?

I thought it was big in automotive and aerospace.

Boeing uses CATIA for CAD and ENOVIA for their CAD parts data repository.

I know its still in use by (one of?) the largest plastic bottle companies

I had to use it when I worked at an auto supplier. I even helped write training materials for the new Catia V6 version, which was somehow significantly worse than V5.
