I second that. Earlier today I tried Eagle out. Free is nice, ofcourse,
but I missed tons of stuff in that programs. Many menus didn't have
shortcuts, there were no context menus for the layouts, annoying
you-must-click-a-button-before-doing-this-and-that.

I think the people who make these programs have never understood the
principles of modern computer program interfaces. They have learnt to use
old programs like Autocad, and they see nothing wrong in an interface you
have to learn for hundreds of hours before you can work naturally in it.

But ofcourse, its price is miles away too. It's definately not cheap.

Maybe that is the reason why EWB5 is the most pirated spice simulator in
the world. It is usually easy to find in napster type networks and warex sites.
