Abd, I'll describe what I don't like later tonight.
Regarding the net names and breaking wires in Protel... I read the other posts. I won't be looking anymore for a feature, which is obviously not there. Should I ask if there is a "drag" wire feature? When I move the symbol it's no longer connected. Wires are just lines and editing takes a little bit longer than it should be. I have to either place another wire or place a wire and net labels to connect them.
