The user interface is gorgeous. One can clearly see that work has been done to give it a modern look compared to the competition. Altium seems easier to learn to use compared to the competition. Personally, I find Altium easier to use than even the popular...
Lots of new functionality that does not work, is very buggy and breaks the functions that used to work in older versions.
Easy to use. Free to prototype and learn. Max components libraries are available. Famous vendors provide compatible relevant eagle libraries of their components.
The integration with Fusion360. The intention was pure; the execution, however, very poor. Imagine an everyday User of EAGLE for six years; I couldn't find my way around as quickly as I could before. Integrating 3D models into parts was a mess, and the...
