Autodesk will no longer sell nor support EAGLE by 2026

Autodesk taking a 3-year subscription from me, and then not releasing a single thing during that time, not even fixing bugs, was the reason I decided &quot;Never again does Autodesk get to bill me&quot;.<p>If they&#x27;ll do it once, they&#x27;ll do it again. Moved to Altium and although it was expensive, it was a 1-off cost for a permanent license, and I got ~20 years of use out of Eagle, if I amortize the cost over the same time period it&#x27;s not so bad - and it&#x27;s orders of magnitude better, even if that does come with a steeper learning curve.<p>Friends don&#x27;t let friends use Autodesk software.

A few years ago I switched to KiCad <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kicad.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kicad.org&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s worked well for me, and can use libraries from Digikey and open source contributors.

LibrePCB is making progress fast. I haven&#x27;t tried KiCAD in the last year, I&#x27;ve heard it&#x27;s better now but I hated it a few years back.<p>Libre has a fairly Eagle-like UI with a slightly saner parts creation process. I&#x27;m a big fan.
