Most eagle users are complaining aboZ
ut a not so tight coupling between the schematic symbols and the
footprint (which you can change in the schematic editor or in a program
called cvpcb) and this is a entirely different thing.
For sure there are many things still todo for the KiCad people, but this
nose high attitude "thats vor arduino people only" is the wrong thing
for sure.. (german saying: Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall)
Haha, you probably got me
wrong. I never even tried out KiCAD - because
I had no idea why I should try out something else in the moment.
It could do much much more and much better than
what you pay for it.
I am not sure. I have read about no tight coupling between
schematic and
board. That's a no-go for me.

yes .. but from far away. :-)
It's a well known disaster for newcomers. Many completely un-logic
aspects. Evil pitfalls in the schematic editor. The strangest copy and
paste mechanisms.
But... If you are throgh that. And have already forgotten how
frustrating Eagle's UI once was... everything is fine then.
I really love the console input on Eagle. I can do many things by just
typing in commands. Normal work does not involve pulldown menus.
Wen I first encountered eagle it was running under DOS. No windows.
Don't remember if there was a schematic editor. And not much to click.
:-)
To this times I've used Orcad on a Robotron EC1834 :-) It don't even had
a mice, I've managed to use a graphics tablet (K6405) for that but it
wasn't rally neccessary.
Nevertheless, I don't think that I want to push you to use KiCad,
but you _really_ should change your attitude about it. This isn't really
playing stuff for kids anymore..
simply watch some of the youtube videos explainig that push and shove
router, that is a really nice thing I don't want to miss anymore.
For sure you will find out that KiCad isn't eagle, but it never wanted
it to be..
