To speak frankly, Altium is looking very good ! It was not really that functionalities were lacking, I just hadn't had the time to dig into it properly. For what I remember I tried different EDAs at this time: Eagle, Proteus, KiCad, gEDA. The boss in the company I worked for decided to stick to Proteus rather than switching to Altium, and KiCad were not looking better than Proteus or Eagle. I decided to stick to Altium for my personal projects, waiting for KiCad to improve. Now is the time ;)
