Any 17.4 users out there?

Just downloaded it but don't have the time to install and test.  Anyone tried it out?  What's new about it that you like?

    We most likely have a license for it, but I have not installed it yet, only seen some screen shots and compared them to the other tool "System capture" that I think will replace Capture HDL in some future. I have always wished for the possibility to use a dark theme. Not for possible energy savings, but my eyes like it. Having been in the business since Mentor BoardStation using Falcon Framework on Unix and since then used most of what's in the market I favor Cadence. While it has had a bit of an akward Unix interface for its Allegro tools, it has all those nice features that enables the user to do "dangerous" things, often necessary when doing complex RF or High Power designs. The learning curve is a bit high, but once gotten the hang of it, it is a very efficient set of tools.
