I started using librepcb for some smaller projects last year after having some issues with kicad. My thoughts after manufacturing ~10 boards: * It's simple, but what is there works reliably. * Library management works really well. * There are some issues with grids and alignment * DRC was available in the ui but could not find any errors (have not tested 0.1.3 yet). * No auto place/route. Horrible default placement. * Minimal manufacturing support but what is there works I moved from kicad when my old designs started looking different/broken due to updated components (!!). How can kicad team allow this?

Thanks for your feedback! Great to hear from people that are using LibrePCB :) I agree with most of these things. Note: I think there was no DRC available in the board editor before 0.1.3, only an ERC which reported things like unplaced components. In 0.1.3 you have an actual DRC that checks things like copper clearance, minimum drill diameter, etc. PS: If you have a nice project to share, feel free to post it at https://librepcb.discourse.group/t/projects-madewithlibrepcb/99 https://librepcb.discourse.group/t/projects-madewithlibrepcb... !

  You are right. But IIRC unplaced components was the only thing the ERC could detect :(
