There aren't too many ECAD/PCB tools I haven't at least played with a bit... Diptrace has some neat features but overall I can't quite get used to their design flow and library process. I know Stephen Kraig from the MacroFab podcast extols its virtues often, which is why I tried it out in the first place. As for Flux.ai, that one is new and I've been out of the pure PCB world for a little bit so have not messed around with it. To be honest, I'm not a fan of browser-based tools, personally. Even Altium 365's new features (though some are certainly useful), take some getting used to - I suppose I don't really like the "data in the cloud" prospect that much. That being said, I did link Flux.ai first on my recent survey of AI/ML-based PCB tools [1] as they seem to be quite far along. The problem is that PCB design tools all lie on a spectrum from "jump in and design the board right away" to "you'd better spend a while getting your libraries and environment ready to go". Tools like PADS seem to be more towards the latter, while Altium and KiCad are closer to the former. OrCAD is probably around the middle or so. It can be tough to give a tool a fair assessment if it takes more effort to get going on a design.
