alt Hacker NewsKiCAD has pretty awful UX though. I've tried all of the FOSS PCB design apps except LibrePCB (on my to-do list) and Horizon EDA is definitely the one I'd recommend (even though it also has a fair amount of UX oddities it's much better than KiCAD).
DesignSpark PCB is also decent - only minor UX mistakes like warping the mouse when you zoom.

KiCAD has pretty awful UX though
It's not perfect but it's pretty damn good these days. By EE standards it's positively awesome. Single platform vendor toolchain hell is why people leave commercial software and move to KiCad, which runs everywhere, is open source, and has a plugin architecture plus mostly every feature you could ever need except high end simulation (which just needs time).
Eye of the beholder, I suppose. I like KiCAD's UI much more than Altium (but to be fair, I hate Altium).
