Nice software for very beginners. But when you start doing things more complex, like creating a specific shape for a PCB, then Fritzing is not the tool to use. KiCAD is much much powerfull.

at first it was really a pleasant surprise!!! <br> nice UI, modern, good looking... really <br> however, when you want to make a evry basic circuit, using a JFET transitor, <br> you get stuck...<br> because<br> A: the library doesn't have JFET transistors... <br> B: at the forum, the kind develoipers explain that you should make yourself the icons you need... <br> C: at the same time, you see all the fancy stuff, like arduino and the like, those parts are all well made... <br> D: the fet transistor that could be "just" used... is enormous... <br> it should occupy 3 pins in 3 rows of a veroboard... (stripboard)... but it does about 4 x 3 pins !!! <br>which is very-very stupid... <br> not to mention that the orientation of the transistor cannot be easily figured... <br> so, all in all, I cannot use it... <br> seriously, I don't understand why LInux Mint / Ubuntu / debian has Fritzing in their software repos... and not others...<br> like DIYLC ... DIY layout Creator <br> impression: <br> commercialism... that is, making a cool looking open source application with selling stuff in mind... with commercial linking in mind... <br>cool loking is not enough, also misleading... <br> I want to draw circuits and I cannot use it, cause what I want to make, simple JFET circuits, for example, is not what they focus on... (large circuits with expensive parts)
