I hear that the upcoming v6 will even unify schematics and layout entry some more.Our shop uses Google Ads. Be it DipTrace, Altium or whoever - who knows when they will change their sales model, or get bought by someone who does? I trust that this won't happen with KiCad. My main reason for selecting KiCad is that I don't want to end up getting locked in by a commercial vendor again, as happened to me with Eagle. One gets used to it to some extent, but I still struggle when I go back to making changes in the schematic after having worked on the layout for a day or two, and vice versa. My main beef is that schematics entry and PCB layout were written by separate teams, and apparently teams who were not on speaking terms: Different operating logic for selecting stuff and triggering an action different keyboard shortcuts for equivalent functionality - it's quite absurd actually. Some aspects of KiCad are really awkward. the semi-automated router: nice dragging of the traces with optional push & shove functionality, automatically respecting your PCB design rules. Some things are much better in KiCad, e.g. Had used Eagle for 10 years or so hobbyist use only. I have also switched from Eagle (7.x) to KiCad half a year ago.
