Stephane, I've not bothered to go through the entire library of footprints, I just edit them on demand. The net result is that the total time I've spent on this is perhaps minutes. I don't bother editing a footprint just because the text isn't as I like it unless I know I'm going to be placing a lot of that particular footprint, the reason being that I usually end up moving and editing component texts on the board itself anyway in order to squeeze them into the (usually very limited) available space. If you like I can send you a photo of one of my kicad boards and you can decide for yourself if it looks professional enough.
I've just completed a design for a customer using their mechanical drawing originally created in AutoCAD, and posted a description (in English) of how to do it on this list. Altium does seem to have a good reputation, but of course you need to have the money for it - and the inevitable upgrades. Like anything else you pays your money and you takes your choice. Regards, Robert.
