Diptrace vs eagle cs7/6/2023 FWIW, once you get used to the quirky user interface, Eagle is very powerful and capable. Unfortunately, although DEX has great promise, the owner keeps adding features like 3D modeling to it rather than getting the basics working and IMO, it's not usable. Even generating the basic files you need to send to a board shop for fabrication aren't there. As soon as you try to do any non-trivial PCB layout (I'm not talking anything exotic, just copper pour), DEX falls apart - vias aren't connected to pour, areas of pour overlay other areas, it's just a disaster. The UI is beautiful, but ultimately there is always a critical flaw that sends me back to Eagle. I've purchased it (several times) and spent many hours with it over the years. DEX has more problems than just its user manual.
