With over 40 Forums, from which to pick, I have to guess that this would be the one for this topic?

I've done a search for related posts, but they seem to be a little old and I know that both KiCad and Fritzing have moved on, since said posts were made.

So, I've tried both of the mentioned sims, albeit in a very limited way. Each, I found, have pros and cons, but I turn to you, as experienced users, as to what your thoughts are on these (and maybe other) sims.

Thank you.

I much prefer KiCad as it does so much more.  Frirtzing, to me, just give you a graphic representation of your hook-ups.  But Friitzing is great for doing that.  I've had multiple boards make from my KiCad projects.

Those are both TOOLS, so the tools sub-forum is where to post questions about them.

I can't make heads or tails out of those things.

First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.
