Obviously you have found one of the drawbacks is being limited to the command line. I only recently downloaded it and am still working on compiling it for my system.

Overall: I don't know enough about ngspice to give a full overview.It is easy to use, it is free, and it is supported by a much larger company.

Overall: This is the simulator I would suggest.Disadvantages: ? I haven't been made aware of any, it isn't considered quite as accurate as HSPICE, but it isn't inaccurate by any means.Additionally, it has (IMO) an intuitive interface and doesn't try to hide the netlist from you. Advantages: If you are doing power electronics this simulator is tuned for simulating switching events, as well as some other things which make it perfect for this field.Overall: If you REQUIRE reliable results (Military or high end industrial) then HSPICE is the way to go.Disadvantages: As you said, it is expensive, proprietary, and as far as I know has no schematic capture features.However I have no actual experience using it. Advantages: HSPICE is widely considered one of the most accurate simulators on the market.But if you would like a breakdown feel free to read my personal opinions. My short answer is to just go with LTSpice, it is one of the best simulators on the market and it is free. In my view it can't hurt much to have around even if you do need a more powerful tool anyway. monte carle, PCB level anaysis based on actual routing/IBIS models - Altium does this excellently) and all wrapped up in one design tool then you may need more than if can offer. The main point is that it will do all the normal stuff as good (and probably faster) than the expensive tools, but if you need the extras (e.g. I'm sure some of the above is simply as I'm new to MultiSim, and no doubt I am missing something (as the above example simply must be possible in a tool like that) and no I don't work for LT :-) but it has been the only spice that I have used regularly for the last few years. step V2 -15 15 1 to the sheet made it possible in LTspice. run may times and vary a parameter then plot results) but despite reading/wrestling for hours with it, I couldn't manage it, but a quick addition of. I just tried to run a transfer function analysis in MultiSim in this manner (i.e. measure commands for doing things like running an analysis many times and varying parameters.

The manual is not as pretty either, but all the info you need is there regarding how to use, eg. You can have a circuit done in seconds this way. R for resistor, D for diode, is much easier than clicking the picture (or even selecting from a pop up box in MultiSims case, arghh) and dragging to the right place every time. I find the LTspice setup is by far the quickest out of any spice I have tried, once you get used to the key commands.

I'm just trying out MultiSIm from NI (expensive orcad type tool), and it has lots of pretty virtual instruments (e.g scope, distortion analyser, etc) and monte carlo analysis (which LTspice does not have a "convenient" version of - it does have some functions you can use though as Vlad points out, here is a link on using them) but to be honest I find that 99% of things I could do on LTspice. Often the expensive spices are part of some e.g PCB design tool.

I would say that depends heavily on what you need it for.
