After getting used to it, I found pcb better than most I had tried :-)

The pcb canvas is 0,0 at the upper left corner. Footprints have 0,0 at 
the little diamond.

Do you have rubber_band_mode in the settings menu enabled? 
What do you mean by "circuit lines"? Straight rat lines that mark
connections not yet laid out?  Or are you talking about tracks you 
already drew in copper? If the former, just press [o] and the rats 
will be regenerated. Tracks should follow if rubber band mode is 
active.

Did you do the tutorial(s)?
