Even the link to the Windows version drops you in a folder on some random French server[1]. This looks like an exe that some random person built over a year ago. They should consider dropping all mentions of cross-platform compatibility until they're ready to release cross-platform software. [1] http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/ |

And that's not a random French server. KiCAD was originally started by a French researcher, and that's the site it's been distributed from for a long time. Only in the last few years has development shifted to a different location, but we haven't seen a whole lot of outward improvement.
I don't want to sounds like a fanboy; KiCAD clearly needs a lot of work on multiple fronts. But I've used it for moderately complex 2-6 layer projects and it's performed well enough for my purposes. If it's the Free Software angle you're interested in, there's always gEDA (which I have not used extensively).
