Just downloaded it to play.

It certainly isn't a useful tool yet and may never be developed far 
enough.  At present it just seems to be showing off the user 
interface and menu system.  It is not a terrible idea and may 
actually be much better/faster for new users.  I myself and a fan of 
keyboard short cuts over mouse gestures.

However the "nudge routing" is very very interesting.  I hand route a 
lot of boards and I would love to have a feature like this.

I wonder what DJ thinks of it and if it might ever be on the to-do 
list in PCB.  It can produce boards like the ones DJ does with his 
"global puller" from the outset.
