As a long time user of Eagle for PCB layout and schematics, I am taking a look.
They are moving to a subscription model, which will upset many I guess.
Not clear on whether licensing of free version now allows commercial use.
Trying to keep an open mind.

I saw an article on Hackaday where someone had devised a way of designing components, and groups of components, using Python. I'll dig out a link.

All the main Kicad files are in ASCII, and are pretty easy to edit. I have successfully hacked some difficult to design traces into a PCB file

I'm not sure what you mean, latest KiCAD has all kinds of good stuff in the schematic editor, it does subsheets, and erc and all sorts of stuff.Â

Never use a lousy schematic editor again! SKiDL is a simple module that lets you describe electronic circuits using Python. The resulting Python program outputs a netlist that a PCB layout tool uses to create a finished circuit board."
Though you could do the same with the KiCad files themselves, and if you took opportunities to label parts / nets etc sensibly, the files probably bear a diff comparison
