I strongly disagree with this mindset. It feels like saying that because KiCad is currently bad at something, it should always be bad at something and users should just use a different tool because KiCad will never be good at it. If we have the developer interest to make KiCad good at drawing things, why not do so? It doesn't help that the available FOSS MCAD tools are (in my opinion) much less capable relative to their commercial competitors than KiCad is relative to commercial ECAD tools.
