My problem is that is seems that I've already grown out of it. * As if Eagle's subscription was really any worse than Altium's stay-subscribed-forever-if-you-want-any-updates extortion model. Sure, it will be a while before it reaches full feature parity with AD, if it ever does, but there's a lot of market share in hobbyists/entrepreneurs/small businesses that need some pro level features but can't or don't want to drop $10k on a single seat of a high-end software package if they can get something that has 60+% of the features for $30/mo-which is exactly what's made Fusion so successful. I wouldn't be at all surprised if in another couple of years Autodesk came out with a much improved Eagle replacement with the goal of doing to Altium what they've been doing to SolidWorks with Fusion 360.
So perhaps Altium is feeling a bit of pressure there, after making so much marketing hay out of the switch to a subscription model for Eagle*. Autodesk just released a preview of EagleFusion 360 ECAD/MCAD collaboration, which seems to be the functionally similar to the AD/SolidWorks thing that never really seemed to go anywhere.
