According to the "About us" page, they were frustrated by the
unavailability of cheap, portable EDA software, so they built EasyEDA.
 But it's the wrong solution, IMHO.  Relying on hosted software for
your design is even worse than relying on proprietary software.  If a
proprietary software vendor goes bust, at least you can keep using the
last version that you bought (possibly in a VM with an old OS).  But
if the company behind a hosted solution goes bust, you lose
_everything_.  You'll have no ability to maintain your designs
whatsoever.

That's why the world needs FOSS EDA tools.
