Off topic, but probably a lot of disgrunted Eagle users on this list.
Its official, you will now have to pay $500 per year for a
professional license from Autodesk. The spin meistering of the
announcement would make George Orwell proud. I don't see any way they
can keep me from just using the license I currently own, at least
on the OS's it supports. (Parenthetically, like many users, I
am also digging in my heels in terms of staying at Windows 7).
Still, the question arises: are there any affordable alternatives?
Don't have to be entirely free. I am looking for any trends out
there as to what tool will attract a critical mass of users in
the future. There is strength in numbers.
Comments?
