Well, no deep thinking on this end. I was sincerely and simply curious what 
problem he ran into that kicad with its "teething issues" did better at. I 
mostly gruff at Eagle's interface. Rather than growing on you with use, it 
grates on your patience compared to the smoothness in other CAD systems. I'm 
not really complaining, mind you. It gets the job done, and the price is 
right for my needs. I'm more like the free-loader permanently camped out in 
your living room. I spend so much time there, I want to start rearranging 
the furniture to suit my quirks.
