I also have gotten the impression that Eagle is not alone among
CAD programs in "quirkiness", and that some amount of "surprise"
is GOING to be necessary just to deal with the real differences
between drawing circuits and drawing pictures.

And I like my theory about German language influence.  And no, I don't
insist that software written outside the US demonstrate perfect
comprehension of the nuances of "american."  I'm perfectly willing
to put up with a bit of Chinglish, or Deutschlish in otherwise
useful software...
