Totally contra to this project, but relevant for your point. I found EasyEDA, developed by the people from JLCPCB, to be very easy to use for hobbiest boards. Their integration with their SMT assembly service was also pretty neat for my usecase

This sounds better to me than EasyEDA since I don’t want to be _stuck_ with JLCPCB (though a friend uses them and I’ve really only heard good things about them, so I’ll probably use them for my next project anyway…)

Does EasyEDA lock you into JLCPCB? I don’t have anything against partnering with fab houses since it can really help accelerate the project, but I feel a little weird about using something that’s so deeply tied to another product that I “don’t need.”

I feel like I should give EasyEDA a chance though either way, because it can’t be worse than Fritzing.
