There's no need to start a war over oil or CAD.. every one has their
preference ... and we are all groupies... If engineers weren't "strange"
and
quirky.. then we couldn't be engineers.. some of the greatest minds in
History have been so weird.. they put Hollywood to shame...
And there's something called Brand Loyalty.. companies do it all the
time..
that's why Apple have university programs.. and you can buy student
software
for one tenth the cost for commercial. Its not because students are
poor...
as Universities aren't.
I've been using protel for decades.. since 2.8.. and at the time it was
one
of the best for the dollar... things might be different now when there are
new start-ups around.. I still believe that for all the faults Protel has
been around for a long time.. and likely to be around for a long time to
come. so bugs will eventually be fixed and the usual theory of 1-2 years
delay or 3 service packs works. Pulsonix MIGHT be a better package right
now... but what is the company history? what are their upgrade plans ?
I looked at Pulsonixs and it reminded me of the older tools I've left
behind
as the graphical interface is still a little clunky but in saying that
Protel has grown slower and slower due to over doing the interface... for
better or for worse. Also the price has only one year maintaince for
Pulsonix.. but Protel is supported until the next release... and some
times
a little past.
I've always thought the Pulsonix interface was very slick. In what way is it
clunky? I've tried Protel, OrCAD and PADS and don't like any of them much,
compared to Pulsonix.
