The Wikipedia template for CAD software
> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:CAD_software
distinguishes between 5 types of CAD software:
1. Mechanical
2. Architectural (AEC)
3. Electrical
4. Optical
5. Garment
Thus: KiCad is clearly a CAD application, though not of the Mechanical, but of the Electrical category (and is listed in the linked template as such).
