Agreed. KiCAD has had for 3+ years as well, though.

You have to have an active internet connection to use it. That change really irked me.

The license works offline for 14 days. It is synced every time you open Eagle. It's also very flexible, you can install it on several computers, if you use more than one.

Yes, I know, it is still a huge deal breaker for me.

Serious question: Do you travel so often and to such remote places that you find yourself offline for two weeks?

Yes, absolutely I'm frequently without Internet connection for long periods of time. Not because of travel though.

Don't know about the paid version, but the free version is limited to 80cm², or a 10×8cm area. Utterly unusable for a wide range of designs, especially if you use through hole to facilitate soldering (bigger components).

That restriction predates the Autodesk acquisition.

Well… crippled all the same. At least, it's reason enough for me to instantly lose all interest. I'll find another way.

It's free if you're a student.

And then it stops being free? I'm no longer a student anyway. Regardless, the damn thing is still proprietary. Authoring tools should not be proprietary. I want to access my data 50 years from now. Depending on a proprietary authoring tool virtually ensures I won't be able to.
