That's a lot of opinions you want!I would like everybody's opinion on what I should start with!
I want to plug in schematics and sim test them then build. Totally bypassing
the bread board. I looked around and saw many apps are limited on one way or
another, this bothers me.

You don't say what type of simulation(s) you need to do. Digital,
analog, RF, ...
If analog, use Linear Technology's LTSpice. It's free and works quite
well. Don't let the price tag fool you. It's on par with the high cost

If your serious about using Spice, then learn how to hand code your
circuits first.
Ambitious - but you might get a few.I would like everybody's opinion on what I should start with!

In some (most) of my tests, the LTSpice software works BETTER than
most of the alternatives that I have tried. I am NOT meaning to
compare anything else unfavorably with LTSpice, but that LTSpice
is incredibly good. Between several other choices that have
been installed on my system (including my own legacy port of SPICE2 and
SPICE3/XSPICE), LTSpice is my favorite.

I don't agree with this. Sure, its helpful to know about netlists,
and I would certainly recommend that someone learn a bit about them,
but *not* first. The first thing to do is to get a feel for spice
itself by running simulations. End of story. *Today*, leaning
netlists first is a complication that is simply not required. Why
learn to change spark plugs before you take your first driving
lesson? In principle, one can use spice without ever having to see a
netlist.
Because, when your car craps out on the motorway, it helps to
understand how things work under the hood.
Maybe it worked for you. This has little relevance for the population atI learned basic car engine
repair and maintenance before I could reach the pedals. Sure glad I
learned the "wrong" way.
1000's of "serious" professional analogue i.c. designers know,Notice, I prefaced my opinion with "if you're serious...".
Even if your serious, you don't want to start worrying about the detailsIf you want
to fiddle-fart with Spice, use the nice GUI.
Which is what I said. However, its a matter of learning to walk beforeOnce you start dealing
with tool and model issues, it sure helps to understand the ASCII
netlist.
