Also @macegr previous pricing does not reflect our current speed of development under Autodesk.

I understand, I liked feeling that I owned a tool I used. I know engineers who still use DOS PADS because of this desire.

.
@ADSKEAGLE The feeling is that higher speed of development comes at the cost of Obsolescence As A Service. -
.
@ADSKEAGLE I want to clarify I'm OK with upgrades costing approx $500/yr for major revs. But don't like internet killswitch. -
.
@ADSKEAGLE In a perfect world I would like Eagle upgrades to be optional, can purchase upgrades a la carte matching my business schedule -
.
@ADSKEAGLE I don't recall any customer experience surveys coming through the email you have on file, what data informed your decisions?

Hi
@macegr New pricing includes access to the latest software and offers flexibility. The price you're mentioning did not include upgrades. -
It included a purchase of Eagle 5.6 PCB+Layout (I don't autoroute), and an upgrade to Eagle 7.
-
Can you elaborate on the flexibility? I use Eagle for business, I will never downgrade/lapse my main tools.
-
I've been using kicad and am happy so far! A few quirks but it's worth setting aside a couple of days to see if you like it.

you can't compare EAGLE with KICAD...
-
You're joking, right? I've used eagle since the 3.x days.
@kicad_pcb has easily beaten it in features.
