Hello Brian!

3DC is overall a great choice!
If you have a capable machine (with good CPU/GPU) it can offer a very powerful environment with tons of tools.
Maybe it's UI can be still a little messy in some aspects and, as said by Stefan, some of its powerful tools are still in beta, but its PBR Painting Room and its Voxels and also other tools are amazing.

As said by Stefan "...If you are an Industry Professional people go with ZBrush.".
This is actually true.

But the second part of the phrase "...If you are a hobbyist people go with 3DCoat"

I don't know how or where Stefan took this idea, but many many professional artists and designers, especially for game industry, uses 3DC daily into their pipelines with GREAT results.

It depends on what you have to do, but at that price tag, 3DC is a cornucopia of very powerful tools!
