   Well, *I* like it...YMMV. :-)

   Yes, I like the hotkeys too.

   It seems to me that the UI is very similar to most "real" schematic 
capture systems...i.e. not toys under Windows thrown together in VB, 
but real ECAD/EDA systems that were designed by engineers to be used by 
engineers.  From fuzzy memory, it seems to be patterned after Calay 
schematic/PCB CAD systems' UI, but I'm not absolutely sure about that.

   Anyway, I've come to be quite fond of it.  As a bonus, it's under 
very active development, with major new releases coming out every few 
months.  I'm very happy with it so far.
