Hi Michael
We just hope you will order your boards through circuits.io :), but we will not tie you in. You can download your gerbers and have your board produced elsewhere.

#4I have wanted to dabble in making my own PCBs and I have always wondered about the steps beyond the PCB. As in, is there a good small-run manufacturer for doing the pick and place of the components?

#5Anyone come across PCBmodE? Make pretty (and functional) boards.

While I agree that all users are taking the risk you describe, I think they reason they are using the website at all is the hope that an online tool will increase productivity via features only an online tool could be expected to have. That trade-off might be unavoidable.

#8This is some really cool software. I have just finished my first boards with eagle and open sourced them.
Alas I absolutely hated Eagle, but getting mercy for Linux users is a miracle in of itself ;(
If anyone gives a shit my boards are here. https://bitbucket.org/TheLegace/yurt_motordrive-hardware
