Sounds like Fritzing (and open source in general) isn't for you, and you would be happier elsewhere. I read the hackaday post and I agree with the comments, "if it isn't eagle trash it" making the entire post useless so I did the sensible thing and ignored it. Fritzing does something that I want and thus I'm working to wards making it better (which I can because it isn't closed source). Nothing to stop you from doing the same or moving on. No call that I can see to trash the folks that have gotten it this far (far better than I could have done) as far as I can see. I expect the change from a funded research project (which it apparantly started out as) to open source where it gets attention as time is available (which may not be much) basis is most of the cause of the slowdown
