integration with LCSC for parts and assembly is a killer feature though. I loved getting my PCBs back but then if you need to solder on dozens of 0603 caps and a BGA package it just became another thing to get wrong.

As my eyes and coordination are not as good as they were hitting buy now and having fully assembled boards come back for basically the cost of the parts and the PCB was game changing for me.

JLCPCB's integration with LCSC for parts is why I've used them for PCBA.

I've only done low-volume hobbyist stuff, & prefer KiCad, but I can see that not having to fiddle with BOM/CPL would be a +1 to EasyEDA.

JLC-LCSC integration is pretty big for small-volume users, I'll agree. But you can do that with Kicad/LibrePCB just as easy as making boards.

You could always have fully-assembled boards come back for basically the cost of the parts...as long as you were at quantity 10k units. Hooray for automation!
