Re:Tutorial On Designing/Building A PCB (Using FOSS) by throwaway7767 on Wednesday May 11, 2016 @10:09AM (#11675386)
I'd love to hear from someone familiar with both KiCad and eagle how the library availability compares. Last time I tried the FOSS alternatives, the main pain point was that I needed to create pretty much all the component libraries myself, whereas for eagle someone had usually already done that work.

Eagle is a truly terrific program, but I would really like a FOSS alternative. I'll have to give KiCad a try next time I have to do some layout work.
