We share similar thoughts about the core of the auto-routing/placement/simulation issues being UX! We're a bit more bullish on code being able to fix that as well.

Noticing that these tools are infrequently even configured because it's simply too much of a pain to do so for every new design - we're hoping the expressive, reuse-focussed code-based-approach means people need to capture these things once and then everyone gets to reuse them.

This is all a while away, but after we're able to get design currently captured in schematics working smoothly we certainly plan to tackle auto-routing/layout as well
