I agree with what you've said on many occasions about the importance of stability! Changes that really improve things are good. Changes for changes' sake... not so much. BTW, I use KiCad. On the downloads page for Linux/Other [1], you can see which version of KiCad is available for several distributions. Until very recently I was disappointed to see that only an ancient version (7 point something) was available for FreeBSD, but lately that has improved and now the very latest (9.0.2 at this writing) is available on FreeBSD! Currently I use it on Debian, but if Debian ever goes Wayland-only, I may have to switch to FreeBSD, in the hopes that they won't eliminate good ol' X11!!!! Oh, the above KiCad/Wayland thing was discussed on HN [2]. There are varying opinions about this... [1] https://www.kicad.org/download/linux/ [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44297381
