Assuming I have correctly understood what you mean (English is not my
native language) I'd have to disagree with it. All the opinions I have read
here seem to me as coming from people who are genuinely convinced of what
they are saying. Everybody here wants to make KiCad better. I support the
notion that KiCad can and should improve in the usability/friendliness/etc
department because I know your case as a first time user is far from
unique, and I think that's not good for KiCad and first user experiences
could be better without making the experience worse for everybody else.
Now, discussing about these things in a mailing list this size is tricky
because all of us may have strong opinions about something and there is
lots of room for misunderstanding. So respect is key to begin with!

Cheers,

Javier
