I've not created a board with Kicad yet, but from the
tutorial, I think it will do everything that I need.
These are not showstoppers for me, but a couple items that
seem to be missing are rectangular hole pads and cutouts. At least I
haven't discovered how to make it happen and no one has answered my questions
concerning those topics.
One design-for-manufacturing feature missing
is the ability to define a clearance region for each part and have that
clearance checked by the DRC.
For me, these issues are minor. So far, I have been
extremely impressed with Kicad and plan to use it to design proffessional
boards. Thank you to the author! This tool is great and I see it only getting
better.

Subject: [kicad-users] kicad status/usability?
I'm just wondering what is the current status of kicad is? Is it reasonably usable for multilayer boards?. Is there any lists anywhere that show its currently usability status for doing real boards(without having to do crazy things or having crazy bugs) or any major holdups on necesary features?.
Anyone have some comments?
Thanks in advance
Greg
