NCEES is discontinuing the PE Software exam because fewer than 100 people have ever taken it. In my experience, maybe 10% of people in the field have even heard of it, and most of them think it's useless.

It's maybe just not cool to be a true engineer and true engineered products. It's more cool to participate in a startup and build crappy software.
