I watch QCad/LibreCAD for the last 12 years.
All of these years I am trying to reject usage of AutoCAD for an open source alternative.
I use only 2d drawings on AutoCAD so, LibreCAD is first open source alternative.

But there is a lack of functionality which is missing and this migration is impossible.

I talk about:

- SNAP on perpendicular and all other modes which AutoCAD has.
- DIRECT the next line segment on specific angles, eg. 90°, 60°, 45°, 30° etc.
- DO NOT FORCE SNAP or DIRECTION, only use snap as magnet for mouse.
- DRAW LINE so fast as AutoCAD. No need for ...... @50,0 for a horizontal line when you can just type 50 (if you point the mouse almost horizontal from previous point).
- Minor: display hints for the next part of command

So, is there any progress on this?
