#3Ah Logisim, brings back fond memories of creating a RISC-V CPU for CS61C at UC Berkeley.

#4Looks like development was suspended back in 2014. There seems to be a recently maintained fork: https://github.com/logisim-evolution/logisim-evolution

#5Oh wow, I never thought I would see this again!
I learned logic gates using this, and even made a video game out of a grid of LEDs. You were a car that had to dodge oncoming traffic by switching between columns.
EDIT: After trying it, it's not the one I remember.
I used the very similar program LogicSim http://www.tetzl.de/java_logic_simulator.html#download
Runs perfect still. Just make sure you have java version 1.4 and up ;)

#6Very cool tool.
Almost 2 decades ago, I learnt Principles of Digital Design in the university using EWB (Electronics Workbench), then known as Multisim.
It's Windows only. Then a friend pointed me to Logisim, which also runs well on Linux. Unfortunately, the development was suspended, which lead to various forks like: - https://github.com/lbulej/fork-logisim-evolution - https://github.com/Logisim-Ita/Logisim - https://github.com/logisim-evolution/logisim-evolution

#7I love logisim. I used it on a course called "Digital Systems" in undergrad. It was one of my first CS courses - I had a project to create a digital calendar (it displayed time of day, day, month and year) and had so much fun learning to use it. Got to play with all sorts of quartz crystals, latches, flip-flops, etc.
In the end, it was so exciting getting it all working - I even implemented leap years (for february et al). Such a great tool to learn about circuit design!

I have another fork that is still (mostly) maintained and used as well: https://github.com/kevinawalsh/logisim-evolution
The REDS-HEIG version you link to has more development activity, support for a wider variety of FPGAs, and a few other advanced features. My version has some neat features not found in REDS-HEIG fork, and usually aims to keep the interface more beginner-friendly and streamlined for use as student's first-contact with digital circuits.

#9EveryCircuit is also an alternative that focuses on circuits in general, not only digital ones

#10Berkeley uses Logisim for its computer architectures class. One of the projects was to create a basic cpu within Logisim. Really the first time that I saw how we go from code to hardware.
