I had half a suspicion. I know Altium are Australian and I thought his
voice sounded familiar from some of their video demonstrations.

Did you get any impression about their attitude to open-source / open
file formats? (I get the context of your points on open file formats
now ;))

I really like the look of Altium and its features. I strongly their
product is one of the ones we should look at and strive towards, rather
than trying to one-up KiCad / Eagle.. gEDA is a serious piece of CAD
software, and I don't think Eagle is.
