The situation is better than when I began working on it
At the beginning it was mostly impossible to "pick up" a board multiple times when going back to-from Kicad
Incompletes where growing each time and there where quite a bit "stuck" issues
Now, you can fix incompletes on import and "stuck" should be eliminated
PNS is complicated and especially so in freerouting, given the free angle and how things are arranged.
There is nothing new or special about it, it is quite a lot of recursion going on and the use of lines instead of points to represent traces.
So, yes, you need to be "careful" but not scared when you PNS quite a lot of traces
(use the s key while routing to save the board state for undo, it works)
Bear in mind that you can "space" things and then fix them, so, even a "complex" arrangement should be manageable.
P.S. I posted a new video on tip and tricks at
