Like you cannot place slot hole for a USB connector It's just not feature complete, which makes it a no go, because it is just a matter of time, when you run into a problem that is not possible to solve. Altium cut down a little bit too much of the features, that actually makes projects impossible. Only get that software, if someone forces you to use it. And be prepared to create every single component yourself.

Properties names are coming straight out of the 80s (seriously, nobody is etching PCBs anymore and there is no such thing as antipad) or the source code of a programmer.
