No. The opposite condition is reality. Buy the competition because
their product is better. Integrate their products? Not a chance!
Witness Cadence eats OrCAD who ate MicroSim. MicroSim Schematics is
the infinitely superior product, so it's dead :-(

Can Microsim crank out EDIF netlist? I am really sick and tired of CRAPTURE.

Looks like MicroSim can do EDIF, but I've not tried it recently. EDIF
is one of those "standards" that ain't, created by a committee
composed of competitors bent of crippling any competition wherever
possible with obtuseness.

Yes but Orcad PCB386+ uses it.

The same with L3-Com and Microdyne. They spent over a million
dollars to develop a DSP based telemetry receiver that didn't work worth
a damn. They bragged that they were going to use it to put Microdyne
out of business. When they found out how bad the design was, they
bought Microdyne and slowly strangled it to death.

However, Dilbert's line: "Did anyone tell you that their products
are worthless pieces of garbage? Maybe that's why they sold the
company?" is spoken by the workers at the new company in either
case, better or worse, before they kill off the acquired rival.

Quite so. Commercial history is littered with such examples where
second-best prevails.

No. Worse, a lot of money is spent to buy crappy products for hich
little support exists. Buying the company at least would bring in
customers...
