If you may recall 2012 Tax software revamp for ATX and Taxworks was a complete disaster. As a matter of fact Taxworks never recovered! Yours truly was a victim of that fiasco!
Having used ATX and Drake recently, I am not sure why anyone would use ATX over Drake. They are at broadly similar price points and seem, to me at least, to appeal to the same sort of client base.

When was the last time any of them were actually refreshed to have a more user friendly interface? They all look like software from the 90s, because they pretty well are, at least from a UI perspective!

The larger firms tend to actually use CCH, whether it be Prosystems or Axcess. I think KPMG is the only one of the big 4 that uses TR's Gosystems. From what I've read, UltraTax has a limit of around 20-30 preparers because of how resource intensive the software can be as it's recalculating the tax return as new data is entered, which makes it effectively unusable for large firms.
