Schematic capture is very good. For PCB kicad with freerouting.net is good combination. But now I am doing a complex design which will have 6+ layers with BGAs+DDR2. I am using kicad, please let me know if some one has done design of similar complexity with any open source EDA tool. Also I would like to know of major limitations, which might require special attention.
