If someone told you they tried GIMP 1.0 ten years ago and were unimpressed, you would likely look for a more recent opinion. I know it was mentioned in other comments and answers (which were posted 2.5+ years ago.) You may get a bad impression from those comments, but I would recommend checking it out yourself, as a lot has changed in the past few years. If I could restart now, I probably wouldn't invest the time to learn a package that I couldn't afford for personal projects. I do use the free version of Eagle for small stuff, but it's painful (mostly because of my experience with Altium). I learned Altium back when it was Protel 98, and now the transition to anything else would be a sizable productivity hit. I'd also think seriously about what boat you want to be in for the long term.

Though I haven't used Mentor's stuff, I suspect it's like most established EDA software- powerful, but with frustrating interface quirks that go unreplicated in the rest of the software world. They were recently offering a large discount to switch from Altium to their stuff.

Since you have an old PCAD license from Altium, you might also investigate Mentor's deals.

So should you, dear critic.)Īltium is $3500 plus an optional yearly subscription for updates I'd say it's not worth it unless you need specific features that Altium provides- for most boards, Eagle wins. (And yes, I realize that I should shut up and start contributing patches. In the even longer run, I hope that GEDA and Kicad get better, but I've been literally hoping that for a decade (about GEDA). If that actually happens, it will be huge. I also think that Eagle has a promising future in that they are alleged developing an open file specification, according to Adafruit. They've improved a lot from the past, and you can't beat the price, but I think Eagle is worth the money. I've tried Kicad and GEDA despite Jim's comment above, I think neither are comparable in stability or features.
