There is no better or worst in comparing AutoCAD and Revit. They are to different types of programs, but both are used in the same field of work. In the drafting field you need to know both.

Revit has some nice integrated documentation tool. other than that the main deference I can see is, all project information is contained with in one file with revit, where s it is contained within a number of files in Autocad, but can have various files that link together just like Xrefs.

The two are irreplaceable and it depends on the user and function. AutoCAD still remains the best tool for the Electrical details and similar works while Revit is better in Architectural and Civil Drawings.

Revit is better then autocad because it provide users with much efficient way to deal with drawing. In revit  by drawing 2d plan one can get 3d automatically drawn thus saving time and increasing efficiency. Moreover revit also provides with schedules of different elements like doors windows walls etc which autocad doesn't.
