    Ethan, it is a matter of using the tool, I could say wonders about 
diptrace, but I do believe nothing will be compared with you getting the 
tool and taking a look.

    I use Altium Designer, but I admit it is too expensive for (legal) hobby 
use :o)

    I do believe in Diptrace. But KICAD is getting better and better 
everyday. More libraries and a very active development. Maybe you'll want to 
take a look at it :)
