> What kind of boards are you making?

Boards with power circuits and micro-controllers. I'm not sure I would trust the routing software when it comes to a high-speed bus or radio just yet.

> There was no easy way to combine schematic and skidl-based circuits. This was a problem at a company environment where design reviews become impossible because nobody else could write their heads around a power converter circuit made in skidl.

You can output a schematic: https://devbisme.github.io/skidl/#svg-schematics

I haven't got a solution for half-and-half skidl and KiCad designs.

> I really like KiCad's backannotation feature for adjusting BGA fanouts and whatnot from the layout.

I've not tried this so can't comment on it.



> You can output a schematic I've been working on a branch of SKiDL that outputs schematics that can be directly opened using KiCad's EESCHEMA. That will allow some capabilities SVG figures don't allow.
