I'm pretty sure he was comparing on a per-component basis; for instance,
even if I find Kicad's PCB thing unusable, it has some neat things I'd
love to see in pcb (drag traces around and they stay connected _and_
keep their angles, push/shove traces, helpers for length matching, (not
sure about) bus/multiple trace routing, nets displayed if the zoom level
is high enough... [1]).

I think the Kicad gschem equivalent is roughly similar from a basic user
point of view - the differences were mostly cosmetic last time I tried
to use it (1-2 years ago).


[1] this is what I've been able to gather from YouTube videos - I'm
never able to find anything in the actual pcbnew, I just keep it
installed because I might have to open something created with it
sometimes; I do start it every few months only to promptly get lost and
kill it with fire.
