I've played with LTSpice an hour.

Things I like:
 * the current and voltage probing (visible marks are missing)
 * all entries (simulations and voltage sources) are done with dialog
   widgets and also printed in plain text. 
 * changing the model of a diode or transistor
 * the property dialog for each circuit element (right mousebutton)

Things I don't like:
 * schematic entry (selecting, moving, ...)
 * only one simulation at a time.
   This is o.k. for tinkering, but not for real work. I hate it when
   using PSpice (schematics) at work. You can't split your workflow into
   entry, simulation and postprocessing with it.

Regards
Werner
