Just close your eyes and imagine how much creativity and productivity could be unleashed if basic CAD was as accessible as a document editor.

but my point would be that once you’re ready to ditch Eagle the cost of Altium prob isn’t the #1 thing holding you back from pursuing hardware. Tho my ulterior motive of trying to get smart people to discard the Bay Area’s SW bias might be influencing that perspective ;)
It’s not possible to measure how much is lost nor how many are turned away from hardware as a result of the challenges around using the tools

Being honest, I think even I feel a certain amount of dread about what a pain it is to deal with any/all of the ECAD options, which is a hurdle/setup cost I still face and have to get over if I’m thinking of doing a new project. And I’ve used or written my share of ULPs.

Also FWIW I think this outlook on Altium is false. I think the cost is still prohibitive even in many professional contexts.
