I'm not in with the KiCAD developer crowd.
Their discussions are here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/

(Frustration with all these crap ad-hoc
 non-standard formats that has locked up dozens of projects
 in disparate proprietary systems has driven me 100% to KiCAD.
 Its a big cost saving. I average a new PCB a week these days.
 Because KiCAD is free, at least we can all learn to use it.
 If I get time and more PCB work, I make some GAMBAS utilities
 to manage more functions. I sorely need a dxf import
 function, a function to auto extract from .brd all individual
 footprints, a way to keep foot prints and schematic
 symbols together, assemble a PCB from a script, etc.
 Long list.
 I downloaded the PADS specification, but
 from what I understand it is going to get dropped.
 More $$$ for its makers I imagine as they make everyone
 run like mad to buy their proprietary software to avoid being locked
 out of the design files. Sheesh!)
