sorta long time eagle user, ...
... they are using people as beta testers.
Cadsoft Eagle was indeed very stable. The autodesk Eagle is terrible.
Nowadays all software uses their users as betatesters, commercially or not. Welcome in the age of agile programming.
Now I am no fan of agile but this has nothing to do with agile programming.
If you have used any of Autodesk products (AutoCAD, Inventor, 3DS Max, Fusion360 ... maybe with an exception of Maya that still seems to be resisting the "autodeskization" somewhat), you would have known that this is their way of working. Even products that they have got by acquisitions (most of them, in fact - Maya, Max, Eagle, Revit ...) get "molded" into this mess over time.
The UIs are designed by monkeys, the code APIs are an inconsistent buggy mess, there are extremely weird design decisions in the APIs and UIs that don't make any sense except to that outsourced programmer somewhere in India that was hired to code it, etc.
And don't get me started on how slow, resource hungry and buggy their products are ...
With the Fusion360 suite it is even worse than usual because that is literally a test bed for features that will be rolled into their more expensive products like Inventor later. Which was ok while they weren't asking money for it but now you are literally paying to be a beta tester, with stuff that worked one week breaking horribly the week later.
Unfortunately, I have the "pleasure" to have to deal with their stuff on a regular basis because we need it at work.
