I gave up on proprietary a while back... It has damaged too many projects of mine to ever want to go back.

Not religious about proprietary - certain things just can't be trusted to proprietary - hence positive action to eliminate proprietary where trust is broken. PCBs in particular - I have need of them years down the road for pasting on to new designs. If the data is not going to be available, then I can't copy paste, so I must do it again. Pointless delays damage projects. e.g. power supplies - I must have laid out the same power supply designs umpteenth times in different packages. Could they get together and agree to copy paste between packages to save the user and their projects? Don't think so. Therefore they are totally untrustworthy and should not be trusted with any PCB data.
