I think the mails so far already show that it's no easy topic and I
think there should be a QEP.

I tend to agree with this, +1
but then there's also a point that the usual GIS packages might have
got it wrong ;-)

>From a non-CAD users point of view, I've also had issues wrapping my
head around the concept of using CAD tools. The concepts might be
superior, but I have to agree with others before me that they don't
seem intuitive to me.

Best wishes,
