 i've just started hacking on a 2-layer 4in x 2.5in PCB with eagle
(pre-existing, GPLv3) and hoolyy cow is it.... i mean it's a
successful program, it works, it generates gerbers and so on but jesus
christ is it utterly painful to use.  no push-and-shove (at least
kicad has that now), you can't just "select" something, you have to
"Move" it first then and only then can you modify its properties by
right-mouse-buttoning on it... only problem is.... you moved it....

 group selection goes wrong on a constant utterly painful monotonous basis...

 i'm sort of amazed and impressed that people actually get things done with it.
