    Moving wires is very difficult, and often ends up in a complete mess if a component is moved after it has been connected.
    It would be good if it was possible to select a wire and move it (eg. drag a vertical wire left/right, drag a horizonttal wire up/down and drag wire corners around, instead of the default behavior always being to extend or join onto wires.
    A fine grid would also help when laying out tracks - it gets very difficult to maange track layout when there are multiple chips or more complex circuits, where many tracks have to cross over each other.
    Having a grid spacing that 2x or 4x finer than the pin spacing would help be able to lay tracks out without them runing over each other.(in parallel)

    You can move wires by pressing CTRL and left-click and move wire (keeeping ctrl pressed).
    You can have a look to this video ( movig wires from min 2:00):

    There are some tutorials here:

    THe finer grid could be good.
    But remember you can also use buses for chip connections.
