Kind of amazing that they're finally working on usability. I did some free usability testing for them years ago and they buried their heads in the sand. Basically "it's fine, how dare you say that it's not intuitive". Very frustrating. I actually got a few private emails from people saying they agreed with me and found it frustrating too but didn't want to speak up on the mailing list.

Anyway fortunately I found that someone else has made an alternative PCB designer using the Kicad core engine (which is good) but with a sane UI. Well mostly sane. There are a few rough edges but it's waaaaaay easier to use than Kicad.

I recommend trying it: https://github.com/horizon-eda/horizon

I still haven't tried LibrePCB but Horizon is better than the other free options: Eagle (awful), GEDA (bad), Kicad (powerful but badly designed) and DesignSparkPCB (surprisingly decent).
