I would recommend QUCS STUDIO instead. As compared to the "plain QUCS" it happens to work, more acceptably.

Well, given that I am a Linux user and Qucs Studio has this on the webpage:
"Currently QucsStudio supports Windows® only.", it is not likely I am going to be able to use it.

Moreover, that seems to be a one man incompatible fork of Qucs, so support for models and such is likely going to suck even more.

After spending quite a few afternoons trying to do a non-linear simulations in QUCS, I would like to make a point, that no matter what, QUCS jsut sucks beyond usability. QUCS Studio sucks too, but is notably better.

Run it in Wine.   8)

I'll use VirtualBox to keep the gross proprietary stench away from my pristine FOSS-only Arch Linux system, thanks. xD

Yansi:
Use whatever you want, just don't curse on "proprietary" software that works way better than most of the opensource garabage.

In case of the QUCS, the "proprietary" one man show "QUCS Studio" is so much better in terms of performance, functions and usability, compared to the "crowdsourced" QUCS,  it just blows ones mind.

I needed it for non-linear (harmonic-balance) simulations, and the QUCS was beyond unusable junk. QUCS Studio at least fixed a lot of issues and the user interface is muuuuch better, however still didn't work as expected.

alxptt:
Uh, I don't think the FOSS crowd is for you -- sure, there's a difference between quality and license goodness-of-a-product, but the license thing is a matter of principle (and pragmatism) for me. If you don't care about software licensing, that's fine with me tho. :P
