I would say that ArcGIS (ArcView ver. 8 and 9) has better CAD-Like capabilties. We have both here, but I still prefer using MapInfo for the bulk of our work load.

I am quite green with all things GIS, having dabbled in it for last 4 years and only really using it frequently in the last couple of months. I have been using AutoCAD for over 15 years and find MapInfo's drafting/display capabilities quite limited. I appreciate that MapInfo is not a CAD package and does not require all of the bells and whistles that come with AutoCAD, but is there any other GIS programs that are ahead of MapInfo in this respect?
