I've watched the growth of kicad since 2013. Far more usable now, though it was very poor at the beginning. In its current state I could recommend it for most hobbyist stuff and some simpler commercial PCBs. Far better than Eagle ever got. Meanwhile I will continue to use Altium for everything just because I'm fast with it. When time is money and $8k is just another expense it's well worth it.
