LT is the follow on to AutoSketch and marketed to those who don't find value from working in 3d. AutoDesk upbranded the product and raised the price point when they renamed it, and a lot of people who say they use AutoCad are using LT "instead". In fairness, there are a lot of people using AutoCad with color based plotting (style based was introduced with Acad2000 in 1999) and who don't use those "new features" like Paper Space and Xrefs (introduced in r11 in 1990). Making things is very much bound by traditions.

To be honest, when I used it, AutoLisp was really the only feature I cared about other than drawing basic 2D shapes. You could have left me with only points, lines, arcs and dimension text, as long as I had lisp to automate it all.
