Routing isn't the hard part though. The hard part, by far, is finding and checking footprints, and physically assembling the board. I hope they add autorouting, but I would much rather have more parts libraries, access to the part supply house APIs, more 3D models, better tools for verifying that your design will be pick and placed the way you think it will and there isn't something inexplicably upside down because of a bad footprint file, etc. Hobbyists often like to do more analog stuff with discrete parts than I do, so SPICE simulation in a way that's as easy as the Falstad sim may be important. I don't think there's any true beginner friendly open sims out there, ideally you'd have a one-click way to fuzz all the components and see how everything behaves with noise in every wire, bad connections everywhere, 60Hz buzz getting in, etc, so you could verify it still works in the worst case of crappy counterfeit parts and loose connections.
