I don't have a problem with your arduino related point of view, but I'm
sure you never heard from the push and shove router that kicad implements?
(take a look at youtube!)
If you have used it once, egale would look a lot like
copy-and-paste-maker-arduino-blinky-blinky-community-thingy..
People at the swiss CERN are developing it, for sure they only know how
to make arduinos, dnon't they?

You might consider KiCAD as an alternative to
Eagle. It works pretty
darned well.
Why should I? If you look at the board's size you probably see
that it
cannot be made using the free version. I own a paid Eagle 7 license. Why
should I throw that away? Started to use Eagle as a child. Have my own
libraries and footprints. Got used to the odds. And I won't use that
KiCAD thing. It smells too much like dumb Arduino folks. And I do not
want to share to much with that community.
I am an engineer and no Arduino fool... Even if KiCAD was a really great
program, it would still have the smell of the
copy-and-paste-maker-arduino-blinky-blinky-community.
Sorry for the rant but.... Arduino is just fubar..
If I would migrate to another EDA tool, I would probably migrate up to
something more elaborated than Eagle or KiCAD :-)
Kind regards
Philipp
