I think some EDA tools are like driving a Ford or Chevrolet. They mostly all do the same thing, some are a better fit for oneself than others and some are incomplete. But mostly the tools I am referring to are free so I can't complain to much. Comparable to the OS wars, Do we use BSD, Linux, Windows? What distribution...here Ubuntu is used. I personally like openSuSE also have a in house server running on FreeBSD 7.1
