[sdiy] Circuit Simulators

[Ben Bradley]

Thanks for reminding me how bad LTSpice's interface is (!). I forget
when I started using it, probably the late 90s, but remarkably, I've
gotten used to LTSpice's interface and can draw a schematic and
simulation commands at reasonable speed without getting annoyed. It
actually gives me hope that I'll get used to KiCad - I've actually
learned much of it this year.

Here's a very long instructional discussion thread on LTSpice that may help:
