KiCAD, the rising star? I think it is fine, but older than gEDA, and
progress is not really fast. Homepage is fine now, indeed. And there is
much traffic on the developer mailing list -- but most people seem to
vast their own time and the time of the real developers, instead of
working. I was looking for real projects done with KiCAD, have never
seen much.

Yes, I really do not like most of gEDA/PCB docs/wiki. Verbose, outdated,
sometimes too technical. I myself can not write fine documentation,
because my english is not good. (At least I have written a footprint
summary, see http://www.ssalewski.de/SFG.html.en bottom.) DJ has written
a fine beginner tutorial, its not easy to find:
