I have always used Eagle for my designs because it is free, well supported and nice UI. Recently I received a design in Kidcad which I tried to export to Eagle but I was unable to do so. Then I thought, hey! why not using Altium, because I see that most of the job offers for Hardware design as for Altium as main software.
I can say that Eagle is very user-friendly and I really like it but it is not open source as Kicad. HOWEVER, Altium is very nice-looking, but not only this, of course. The 3Dtool, the schematics are also better managed than Eagle but I am worried about the open-source thing while I want to use an extended software. As you see this is a kind of inner fight and I want to show up the debate to receive your feedback!
From you point of view, which is the best software for PCB design? And why do you recommend it?
