There may be more pain with KiCAD. It has a very odd user interface
(specifically the way the mouse works)

Their prices are attractive, and I have an Eagle board ready to go, so I
downloaded their design rule check file, awkwardly ensconced in a

Having invested much effort in warping my brain to work with Eagle, I'm
reluctant to endure similar pain with Kicad. In any event, it wouldn't
