Can't we quit this icon bickering? Opinions are like buttholes, you all
have one and I'm not the least bit interested in seeing yours.

This thread is getting _exhausting_. Everyone stop replacing everyone's
icons constantly, everyone stop nitpicking, everyone just go home and
find something better to do. Maybe someday we'll be able to hire a
graphic designer to overhaul our stuff - at which point we need to all
agree that their word is law. Until then let's just be happy we _have_
icons.

I feel this because Kicad is used by technical driven people, who usually don't care that much about aesthetics, as long as the knob gets the job done.
