Are they from the same original code base? --- End quote --- no. diptrace is written in delphi kicad post V6 had gigantic improvements in workflow, making it more simillar to diptrace. Diptrace V5 made a lot of long needed improvements that copied kicad, in file format, UI and functionality, to the point i was kind of tempted to renew my old v3 license, but in the end i prefer having a native linux version |

Thanks, @JPortici, that's a very interesting insight. (Most of my Windows development is done in Delphi.) |

I think the W8 UI was very innovative and worked great PROVIDED you used it only with a touch screen. For workstation use with a mouse and keyboard it was a car crash. Every version after that was (is) an ugly, kludgy mix of a touch UI and a WIMP UI. I wish they'd kept them separate, like Apple did. Sorry, off topic. |

Even bloody Server 2012 had that touch optimized UI. The touch UI of Windows 11 is leagues worse than that of Windows 8. |
