I designed a PCB with KiCad in 2014-2016, with version 4.x and then had to make another one in late 2017, and gave KiCad another spin and am absolutely mind-blown as to how awesome it has become. I even opened up my old designs from '14 and they just worked, some complaining about an old version, but it got all the footprints (lots of custom ones, too!) right and I could just pick up and continue.
I'm not sure how KiCad scales up to the $10k+ EDAs, but I am thoroughly amazed at it's quality and useability, especially considering that it's FOSS.
