Cute, but EasyEDA is where the hobbyists are at right now. They realised that to win hearts and minds, the winning combination is to have a PCB editor, a components shop, a PCB manufacturing service and a PCB SMD assembly service all integrated (up to a point) in a single product.

You're dismissing a free non-commercial open-source cross platform EDA software project by promoting a web-based closed source commercial EDA tool by saying "that's where hobbyists are" without even showing any evidence for that (and in a dismissive tone). I think you're on the wrong forum.

I've been using EasyEDA for the last two years and have started ordering some of my parts from as well. It's worked pretty well for me, just be sure you verify the pinouts and packages for any user generated parts.
