I completely agree, and I also wish I would have switched sooner.<p>The only thing I&#x27;d add is that anybody who&#x27;s thinking of switching should treat it like picking up a new, very different programming language. It took me three weeks with several boards and a video tutorial series to finally get comfortable that I can use the tool without constantly looking up hotkeys and documentation (which is really good).<p>The thing I recommend is to never assume that the way KiCad is doing something is the only way, and to Google aggressively. A good example is the &#x27;Move&#x27; tool vs the &#x27;Grab&#x27; tool. I watched a guy nearly swear off KiCad because he only used Move and never Grab, so he was moving wire segments individually. If he&#x27;d read the documentation or searched for the answer, it would have been there. These tools are not particularly intuitive.<p>The best part of taking some dedicated time is that now I have 2-layer and 4-layer templates with my design rules, custom project settings, and a bunch of custom hotkeys. It makes all the difference.
