Doesn't have a linux version
Is missing 90% of new commercially available parts
Doesn't have a method of easily adding those parts (except manually, 1 by 1) (as far as I know)
Has garbage UI (you can only undo 4 times) (adding or removing a single component can easily use up more than 4 moves)
Inconsistent simulations (making the sims work feels like trying to appease a capricious God to not curse you with famine)

The free open source software (qucs-studio) seems to have none of these problems, though I have barely used it.

Seems like the company has a reputation in Hexbear. What did they do? Disrespect the beans?

They make a ton of specialized industrial and electronics shit and a ton of niche professional software and are extremely money hungry. Most of their products have the same experience as this one.

I know a handful of former NI people. They universally had bad things to say.
