Interesting.

Designspark is BIG- sponsored by RS/Allied, not some shadowy cadre of
unknowns.

That said, I've been using DesignSpark for a week or so, and I'm VERY
pleased. On a usability level, I'm finding it exceeds pretty much any other
application I've tried.

I certainly don't think it's ready to roll with the big players, at least a=
s
far as
PCB design goes, but for schematic capture and the simple boards I will
use it for, it's probably going to edge out Proteus as my design tool of
choice.

If your desired pricepoint is $0, I don't think you'll find better anywhere=
