The company I work for uses both. Our preferred package is Synergy. We use it on our big production machine programs. A couple of the guys still use BobCad at the machines for quick edits and tooling and fixture jobs. Type in Weber Systems in the search engine and think you can get a 30 day trial of Synergy for either windows or linux.
