KiCad definitely has a learning curve, which is why I made these and many other videos.<p>I have scaled back my arguments a bit, but I&#x27;m not a fan of the network connected, in-browser tools (wrote about it previously here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;contextualelectronics.com&#x2F;learning&#x2F;simple-plane-experiment-kicad-vs-circuitmaker-vs-upverter&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;contextualelectronics.com&#x2F;learning&#x2F;simple-plane-expe...</a>). I rather like the Upverter guys as well, I have had them on my podcast in the past: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theamphour.com&#x2F;the-amp-hour-163-ramiform-reciprocity-raconteurs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theamphour.com&#x2F;the-amp-hour-163-ramiform-reciproc...</a>. I&#x27;m sure to lose this argument (browser tools) over the long term, as I think more things are moving that way. But for now I prefer a localized version of my CAD software and the fact that it&#x27;s FOSS is a bonus.<p>The thing I can&#x27;t figure out is what happens if Upverter goes away at some point in the future? They have good exporters it seems, but there&#x27;s no way to run the software without their servers AFAIK. I know people still running local copies of Protel99 (ie. all of China). Will that be possible with Upverter?
