the worst thing is changing file format with no forward compatibility whatsoever. and the longer you use the crippled/budget/cheap version the worse it will get, lots of project files and components/footprints libraries will be trashed or need redo in the new shiny program, this is why i hate upgrades, when the new developers came into the programming house they have a tendency to change things without giving much thought to legacy users, let alone another brand's users. so the moral is, its not like you can switch program easily even if you've attended Altium course guru level. i cannot easily transfer my DipTrace library into Altium, so that one was trashed i have to redo from beginning, took me years to convert all of them even now i think i havent translated all of them to Altium (mainly due to i'm not using the parts anymore or not yet). i downloaded the help/manual files from the website and start reading and practicing, it is somewhat different workflow compared to DipTrace (integrated component/pcb/schematics vs many separated independent programs) but i quickly get a grasp to it and quickly became my user very friendly EDA with one big problem. i started earlier with DipTrace, it is somewhat user friendly with lots of help files and youtubes, then i started pilling up components library, then later i felt it is crippled, i cannot make a component with dual independent units, such as dual or quad opamp in one IC, then i tried what everybody and the Admin suggested, go Altium.
