I've tried several free and open-source layout packages and Kicad is
far better than any I've tried, even the free version of Eagle
(although, I must admit, that was almost 4 years ago, perhaps it has
improved).

I use Mentor Graphics PADS at work and I would even say that Kicad is
almost as stable and useful as PADS. It could well become a problem if
Kicad stops being improved and updated but it is working very well for
my current home project.
