glad you're trying it out. the reason for forking KiCad is to use the upstream/yet to be released IPC API features for schematic and PCB manipulation, vs. having the LLM directly edit or have to interact with S-expressions. Many ways to skin a cat.
I use Backplane more for overall "acceleration" of hardware vs. proompt -> product stuff (this is still mostly slop imo)
