In terms of the technical simulations, I don't think PSPICE has changed.
 It already had fifteen or twenty years (?) of maturity from the
original SPICE.

You are correct that the interface is in need of maturation.  My biggest
rub with it is trying to find a part that may or may not run across
multiple libraries.  You have no way of searching for a part across all
of your libraries.  So, you can just start looking...Analog Devices,
Burr Brown, LT, Mot, Nat Semi--which library has it???

 I ended up using a string search from a DOS window and saving the part
in my own library.

I've got V6.3 (PSpice A/D Basics+ not the eval version). There's not
that much difference between this and the previous version. (You can
however now double click the net names in probe to bring up the
"Edit/Modify Trace" command.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it wasn't until version 6 that MicroSim
released the schematic capture program to accompany their PSpice and
Probe software. It's obvious that they've put considerable effort in
developing this package..., but it's technically still at a v1.3 or
so stage in terms of product maturity. There are still a few "rough"
spots. Yet, I rate it as an excellent product, especially since it can
do almost as much as Cadence can for about 1/20 of the price!
