Thanks Sean, I will take this into account. Just downloading the latest=20
version now and I'm going to try it out with a small project.
Are there any specifics you can think of that would make you stick with=20
e.g. PADS for work? (assuming it was your choice - aside from "extras"=20
like board level simulation, IBIS, FPGA, compiler intergration - I mean=20
just "plain" PCB tool stuff)
For example, does it do blind/buried vias okay?
 From my experience with Altium I can't yet see anything I'm /really/=20
missing with Kicad in comparision.
