My napkin math is similar, although I do wonder about transcoding machines where the old one is using CPU vs newer solutions in the GPU.

There are little devices that take the “headphone” cable and transmit a tiny FM radio station just for your car.

I don’t agree that dragging keeping wires is sane behavior. There may be preferences to modify. I like the hotkeys because it’s much faster than context menus. I’m also the type to use AutoCAD commands for everything instead of the ribbon.

The biggest issue years ago was selecting footprints after schematic design before board layout. Now you can choose from a drop-down as you draw your schematic.

I think there’s a different hotkey for that, maybe G. M doesn’t bring your wires. I don’t use click-dragging, so I’m not sure. It’s also been about two months since I’ve worked in KiCAD

I’ve been using it as my only EDA the last three years or so, and I can tell you it is much better than it was eleven-ish years go, and each major version has been better than the last. I have some plugins that have been broken for a couple major versions if I recall, which kind of sucks. Some functions still aren’t offered - thus the plugins. I make extensive use of the 3D models, and often export to FreeCAD for enclosure design. FreeCAD’s UX is worse than KiCAD’s UX.
