How many E14 users use Altium Designer?

I'd love to know, how popular is Altium? How many of Element14's user community use this product and what are it's strengths and weaknesses compared to the competition?

 

Thanks!

    Ben,

     

    I know of at least 3 who use Altium, including myself.

     

    I like how the software combines all aspects of the design process into one window. Unlike others, OrCad, where you have to run separate programs.

    I use Altium Designer Release 10 for more complex projects, although I still use Eagle for small single layer boards...

    I've used Altium on a company I was doing internship. I really like it. But I mostly use Eagle for school or personal projects..

    I use Altium and PADS(legacy stuff) at work, Eagle at home, but would like to get Altium for home PCB layout, but to pricey for me to drop $5k on it.
