Hi Jonathan, We don't really do debate about opinions on the list. Or we try not to. It is not productive.
If KiCad doesn't do what you want it to, please submit a wishlist report to the issue tracker. You can access this under the help menu with 'Report a Bug' If other people feel the same way, then they will indicate that on the issue report. I will caution however that if you come into any community and immediately say things like "[this] calls into question whether KiCAD can be considered a serious tool", you are unlikely to get a favorable response. KiCad will work differently from your other EDA experience. Seth On Fri, Dec 30, 2022, 9:57 PM Jonathan Levine < jonathan.canuck.lev...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, folks.
