I have been working on an acient version of Eagle since forever - don't like the rental style licence so never upgraded. It really peves me that you can't just buy something anymore and every corporate licence has just become transfixed on maximising profit rather than turning out a decent product, building a custmer base and just servicing that industry. I Clarkes turned up each year and said I had to buy all my shoes again I'd be proper irritated (and shoe-less). Similar grip but slightly different tack is the endless updates to OSs (I'm looking at you Micro$oft) when instead of just rolling our improved versions of the bits that need it, everything keep getting shuffled around and re-designed so you end up having to hunt for functionality you always use.
