I've tried KiCad, but not the latest version.
Using Diptrace I've appreciated the reasonable pricing $150 for thr lite version), the online library integrations have been working well for me both in ease of finding what I need and dropping it right in, but also in the quality of the footprints, etc.
I also prefer thr UI interface. Many ecad solutions are clunky and old school to use in their UI. In Diptrace the whole thing is basically achieved by left and right clicking, selecting from context menus.
