I switched over to KiCad a while ago,
mainly because paying fees for Eagle upgrades that didn't have much "up" in them seemed pretty stupid.
In exchange for providing a free tool, the KiCad open-source developers get a lot of grief,
mostly about the GUI and library management.
That's to be expected: all EDA software, like unhappy families, sucks in its own unique way.
A lot of these are bike-shed issues that are easy to
understand so people form opinions they're not shy about expressing.
But it's not a big problem to me as long as the right wires end up in the right places.
It's fine to voice your concerns so the developers get some feedback;
then put on your big-boy pants and make do with what you've got. <<more...>>
