Have you noticed that an LT Spice schematic looks different if you
open it on different computers? The fonts seem to change.

Mostly fonts. Some can come from different settings, but even with the
same settings things are weird.

As one zooms in and out, font scaling does not track graphic scaling.
Try it. The length of strings jumps around. So if you make something
look good at some zoom level, it gets ugly at others, like text
overlapping parts and such.

And there are different grids for parts and lines and for different
kinds of text. So it's hard to keep stuff aligned.

All that makes it hard to draw a neat schematic.

I believe that a beautiful schematic, for simulation or for a real
PCB, works better than an ugly schematic.

I see real horrors posted here, and elsewhere.
