Is Eagle the best?

SteveMann:
This is the baby duck syndrome.
"In human psychology, Baby Duck Syndrome is called the effect when a person, studying a certain area, considers the first object encountered from this area to be the best, and the subsequent ones to be inferior."

I encountered this when I did a lot of video editing, and invariably would be asked for "the best" editing program. My first editor was Vegas by Sonic Foundry, then purchased by Sony Creative Software, and a few years ago sold to Magix. I became an expert with Sony Vegas and anything else is inferior.

The same applies to IDE programs, text editors and schematic capture programs.

"Best" is what works for you. Try them all.

Thank you, I see baby duck syndrome all the time, especially in a few gun forums I am active in. What is the best 1911 .45 ACP and you get a plethora of responses where everyone figures what they own is of course the best. I also saw it quite a bit in new engineering hires. The last chip they learned in school is the only chip and all other chips suck.
Thanks for sharing that. While I have seen it quite a bit I never knew it had a name. :slight_smile:
