2-3 years ago I would give this a 5 star. Today the state of this program is a complete mess and it sucks so bad I can't even use it. When they migrated to Avogadro2 holy crap did this program turn into one giant turd. Bugs and errors left and right. Random crashes. Can't install from source because it is throwing errors. All I wanted to do was draw one molecule, save it as a PDB, and use it. THAT'S IT. I now wasted 2 hours just trying to get it working on multiple computers and OSes and I'm thoroughly angry at the state of the program. It's complete trash now. How did you all mess it up this bad? This is a disaster compared to the older versions. And worse yet I only get the new Avogadro2 when I try to install via package manager. This used to be one of the best molecule drawing programs, but now it's just a complete pile of garbage and buggy. It's just not worth using anymore.
