   And this is why I don't believe in judging a open source project on how open the tools/software it uses are.

   What matters is that you are taking time in your life to share your knowledge and skills freely and openly with the rest of the world.

   If using the tools you're familiar with makes that possible for you - use them!

     My intention was to make it a design for folks to learn from and build upon.

     Using Altium didn't align with this intention, but it was what I was most productive in and helped me get the design past the finish line with what little energy I had every evening.

     This "just get it out" mindset affected the schematic too - I had a long look at it one day and realized that I wasn't proud of it.

     So with the move to KiCad, I wanted to make something artful, not just functional - my return to form
