Interesting. Also, to be clear, something that was not obvious at
first glance, this program does produce files for standard PC Board
manufacturing (ie: you do NOT have to use Fritzing board making
service if you don't want to (and all other things being equal I would
prefer a service closer to Toronto than Germany)).

Bottom line in all of this, Fritzing makes it easier to build a design
on a breadboard and then turn that design into a finished "product"
(even if that finished product will only be done in quantities of 1 or
2). Frtizing has put a special emphasis on building Arduino add-on
"shield" PC boards, but again you don't have to use it for that.
