I guess that is due to that you cannot use multiple symbols for the same component/package, i.e. you cannot show the signal flow. Instead kicad relies on net symbols, which makes it hard to follow. And it just becomes a net table in schematic form, there are even people making the tables and have some program generating some "not really needed" schemtics. Lepton/geda support for hierarchical design and mult. symbols for the same component helps a log makeing schematics easier to follow. Regards, /Karl Hammar
