Has the Electric integrated circuit CAD software been considered and rejected for some reason?

I have kept track of it since it became open source, but have only played a bit with it and not used it for any real project yet. I have a bit more experience with Magic.
While I am a big fan of KiCAD, it seems to me that starting out with something originally created for integrated circuits would be a better choice. In fact, Electric also has resources allowing it to be used for PCBs but it would be awkward for that compared to KiCAD. I can see that using a single tool for everything would be attractive, however. I am just not sure it is practical.
