Congrats. Honestly I think Horizon and LibrePCB are better - I'll reconsider when you can drag components in the schematic editor without instantly disconnecting all the wires. Still, nice to have alternatives.

#12I've donated about $100 USD to it. KidCAD is great software because many engineering systems are too expensive for students. Another very interesting project that's gaining traction is the Arduino emulator https://velxio.dev

It’s your project, right? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47294568

#14Binary Cadence import is a big one. You no longer need Allegro Viewer for looking at dev board design files and no more license for exporting either.

It's still broken if you need to read the manual to be able to move components sanely.

#16Kicad got hop-over crossings?
This is more impressive than a working auto router.

Drag with connections is the default in KiCad 9?
Afaik in pcb editor default, as in just mouse click and drag, is Move all selected elements and nothing else. Drag with tracks is on D or right click menu. While dragging tracks does trigger Shove mode dragging components does not :(

He's talking about schematic editor though.
Personally I don't drag single parts with the mouse because it's two clicks for the same thing, so it's irrelevant which action that does. KiCad's best usability innovation is that you press M/G and the thing under the cursor gets selected automatically. And you don't need to keep the button down which is bad for accuracy and for your hand if you do it all day long.
So to drag is not click, release, click, hold, drag but M/G, move mouse.
The last bit is true though.
