>From the top of my head: (Keep in mind, that all except one users here only casually use eagle, or any other EDA application. This one user is pretty fluent in eagle, though) * No hierarchical design * Ancient GUI -- It looks and feels pre-win95 and does not follow standard user expectations. * Limited amount of colors. You need "eagle eyes" to differentiate hatch artifacts from real features. * The print dialog is a pain to use. * Complex library management. In response, most users over here take the attitude of "never-touch". * We don't have the full version available here. Consequently, we are restricted to 100x160mmm, two layer pcbs. * Some users experienced severe DRC failure. The test announced everything was fine, while the actual design contained shorts. In one case, a PCB had to be redone. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list geda-dev@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
