Recently someone suggested I try using Kicad for electronic scematics. I thought it worth putting my initial thoughts back onto the list.

Hi,
Thanks for this information. I have had a quick look at it and it's quite good but seems to have the same sort of problems most other systems I've tried - just *not* intuitive, and difficult to manipulate.
As far as I know, there are no electonics CAD systems that will allow a simple drag&drop of a component/item from a window in a library to the work area, and this one of the most obvious things to do.
Tinycad can do the simple drag & drop of components you are looking for.
