Interesting timing. Just yesterday I downloaded KiCad and CircuitMaker. I want to start documenting a circuit design, mainly piecing together schematics from application notes. Does anyone have any suggestions on any other options or what was selected among the options?
As someone who has used CircuitMaker a lot id say don't even bother with it and use KiCad instead.
Since KiCad v6 I can't think of anything CM does better, on top of that the CM forums are full of spam and it seems obvious that Altium have effectively abandoned it.
I switched when KiCad 6 came out and haven't looked back - I can have as many custom parts I want and I don't need to upload my design to the cloud to generate gerbers, I also don't miss the characteristic exception errors that CM would throw all the time
