I've never used Fritzing for PCB design, but I think there is a use case where it's not bad: when you want to make breadboard pictures.

- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoThat's the one thing it's actually good at. But it is very good at that. If you're still at the level where you're using breadboards & through-hole parts for everything (i.e. before you learn to solder) it's a nice tool. Once you learn to solder you can make PCBs and work with higher-speed components than breadboards can support, then you'll want something that's actually slightly decent for PCB design. Fritzing is about the same level of help as manually cutting out mylar tape, you want something with actual design rule checking.
- sircastor 4y agoIt seems like someone ought to fork this component of the project and release just that - or would that be overkill?
- nfriedly 4y agoYeah, it's very handy for making a graphic showing how to wire up an Arduino or similar.
