I was an AutoCAD user for years, then took a job in management with another company.  Haven't used CAD in a few years, and needed something at home.  Of course not wanting to pay $$$$$ for AutoCAD for no more than I use it, I looked at several free programs, and LibreCAD seemed like the best choice.  Now that I'm starting into it, I am SHOCKED that it doesn't have this feature (click start point, orthogonal direction, number entry, enter).  Am I guessing correctly that those who have worked on versions of LibreCAD have never used AutoCAD, therefore have never programmed this in?  Without the simplest, fastest methods of drawing, what's the point of using a computer?  I'm sure if you've never had this feature, you'd never miss it...but man...it would make drawings twice as fast.  /rant
