Generally speaking you have similar idea to my. What is missing in KiCad's
libraries are categories - items are not classified regarding to their roles
(amplifiers, dacs, memories, etc.). The filenames currently in use are not
enough in my opinion. The fact KiCad needs to add some additional files to
have additional libraries manually is not very convenient. Searching for
elements should be more intuitive.

The standardization of drawing rules is a must, to get professional library
at some stage in a future. Currently different elements have symbols of
different sizes drawn in many styles; even chips from same family do not
keep style.
