Congratulations for the Octopart team. However, as a user of both Altium and Octopart, this is worrisome. Altium has a bad history of licensing schemes, bad support and, most of all, old technologies. As a user, I understand a professional tool must be stable and not jump in the latest fad, however, the Delphi and Turbo Pascal cracks in Altium show all to often. Most designers I know get the illustrative habit of closing Altium from time to time to avoid losing data in the next crash. Their version control bindings also show their age, and a few years ago I cracked in a post[1] about Altium and git: > The answer I eventually got from Altium was "what is git?" I took that as a "don't try it." I really like the tool, but the company seem too invested in selling services like Vault and flexboard, which sound great for big companies and consumer products, but, as a freelance and custom projects engineer, they are a much lower rank to me than simply good and practical ECAD.
