Look and feel at the Mac platform

Let me first declare: I'm a mac user since 1985 but not a nerd, only enthusiast.

I have used and tested lot's of pcb cad softwares, Mentor, Pads, Cadence, Altium, RUN, and many many more and also EAGLE.

Altium looks really fresh and tasty. Mentor and Cadence feel a bit vintage and Eagle is a but less vintage but still it could need some face lift. Using EAGLE at a mac looks really ugly compared to how a normal mac software looks like. My suggestion is that Cadsoft hire some clever icon master.

http://iconfactory.com this is a good place.

Despite this small remark I'm glad that it's possible to run a decent pcb software natively on Mac OSX.

Hi,
In keeping with the current EAGLE price structure, its either change the GUI or ad tools to EAGLE. I consider the current GUI format to work quite well, and I rather see more tools added.
Best Regards,
Ed

I'll agree that cool features is better than a good looking GUI but polish up the GUI isn't that hard. Right now I'm working with PADS which is not so nice looking but.... some functions or tasks are really awkward, not particularly intuitive.
