I did a pcb today and while I’ve minimal pcb design experience I can’t help thinking that the foot print and symbol libraries for kicad are a major weakness.
They are difficult to add from external sources and the default footprints have an absolute excess of silkscreen which can’t be removed without modifying the part.
