>> While we're sharing our favourite open source EDA tools, HorizonEDA deserves a lot more love and attention

My impression is that Horizon-EDA is well worth following, but not as far along as KiCAD. It's a nice second option that some people prefer.

Unless you really need some really advanced KiCAD features then Horizon is far far more usable. Night and day.
