Brad, that is where I think many 99SE evangelists disagree with you. I
am interested in PCB & Schematics and nothing else. If the next version
of the software can bring me coffee and cook my dinner, it will add no
value to me. For PCB & SCH, DXP, 2004 and Designer have been steps
backwards. I think there is no point in my reposting my fairly detailed
explanation of why the changes are actually regressions. I doubt any
99SE power user can ever achieve the same speed with the newer packages.
As for your hope of continued growth and improvement for PCB & SCH, I
would like to know what you are smoking. Have you be paying attention
to Altium's actions rather than their propaganda?
Was Altium there at PCB design expo? NO. They were down the street at
Embedded Systems Conf pushing the FPGA stuff and did not have a single
seat of PCB/Sch software at the boot -- not one. I know that because I
tried to show them the issues that I had written about a few weeks ago
and after 15 minutes of a search that most probably involved every
single Altium employee at the boot, they finally admitted that they did
not have a copy of the software that they could use to pull up either
SCH or PCB. With this history, do you think they will keep supporting
PCB & SCH if the FPGA business takes off? How will your "growth &
improvement" future look when all PCB & SCH support is outsourced to
your proverbial ESL team? Actually, they most probably can not nutter
the software any worse than the current team has.
Regards,
Hamid
