I used KiCad briefly; I never created parts in it; just had to quickly fix a problem in an old board done before me.
I know that PADS Logic, unlike DxDesigner, was a free tool, that CAD software, then Mentor and now Siemens supplied for free.
As I remember (I have not used it for quite a while) symbol creation was not complicated in it either.
Especially, considering that we do not have to create a parameter database that would always accompany a real part used in real schematics: P/N, internal P/N, price, PCB footprint name, manufacturer, etc etc.
Pretty much graphics with pins.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
