All major export formats are supported: PDF, SVG, HPGL, Postscript. It also offers hierarchical conversion for complex designs, which simplifies multi-sheet schematics into sub sheets.

The interface is neat and functional, with a focus on essential tools.

Schematic Capture with Eeschema: KiCad provides an elegant and functional schematic capture solution, with all tools available as you may require.

The highlights and key features of KiCad are discussed here. Let’s take a look at the main features of this program. KiCad integrates all the above tools to provide the user a central design environment.

Bitmap2Component: (Image to PCB footprint conversion).

Pcbnew: (PCB layout solution, with 3D capabilities).

Eeschema: (Schematic Capture and editor).

Let alone the price, KiCad is free (and open-source, which I really appreciate), Altium is not. So yeah, I'd love to transition to another cad program, I've been thinking about Altium Designer and KiCad. Thing is, I've learnt to use it, I built a nice fat library with all my custom and verified components, I wrote my scripts and ULPs, CAM job settings, etc.

Overcomplicated, lots of hidden things, things you'd expect to work in a certain way and they just don't, completely counterintuitive interface, I can go on and on, I know I'm not alone there. I've been using Eagle for something like 5 years now, in the beginning I thought PCB design was just a complicated affair itself, but with time I've grown to think that Eagle is basically a shitty program.
