Effective June 7, 2026, Autodesk will no longer sell nor support EAGLE
For folks who are considering Kicad, but not sure if it will be useful at a professional level...<p>We professionally design, engineer and manufacture accessible technology for disabled veterans and we are also developing robotic systems for industrial automation.<p>We have a half-dozen active projects running on Kicad and have been using it for almost 4 years now.<p>As with anything, there have been occasional frustrations with updates but overall, the tool consistently gets better over time.<p>The main decision to select Kicad was based on the plain text representation of project state which enables (1) improved workflows with Git, (2) scriptable bulk edits (3) simpler, sharable extensions &#x2F; plugins and (4) easier continuous integration for build artifacts.
