I think every person who has gotten past the initial stages loves the program they have. EQ has a much longer learning time IMHO than QuiltPro. I own both. I was given the EQ at a friend's death. I made a serious effort to learn it. I have gone back to QP completly. I think it is much easier to use. Whatever you get, it will take some learning, but is well worth the effort. BTW, before I retired, aswell as teaching, I reviewed software for a major teacher's magazine, so I consider myself pretty good at learning software.
One consideration is sharing. If you plan to share results directly, I think EQ is more common, but you should ask your friends.

I have EQ6 and am happy with it. I don't use it much, but when I do, I use my book and it does take a while to design a quilt. I am always happy with the result, though. I wish I knew the program better, but I just don't have a lot of time to spend with it. Maybe after I retire I'll become proficient, but I am not yet.
