Yes, back in the days of DOS, I bought a couple of inexpensive PCB layout tools.
Then after I started my post-retirement ham radio kit business, I bought a rather expensive simulation and PCB layout tool, Multi-Sim. Gave up on that because it kept crashing and was far too buggy to be used.
Then downloaded the free version of DIPTRACE for evaluation, really liked it and bought the 1000 pin commercial license.
Also looked at Eagle and found it not to my liking at all. As I recall, Eagle ignored all the standard Windows practices and made you learn a new set of commands and menu layouts that would be usable just for Eagle.
DIPTRACE - unlike Eagle - follows the normal Windows conventions and I found it easy to use and priced at reasonable levels. And, far less buggy than Multi-Sim.
