First, if folks haven't checked recently, I recommend doing so.? The net tie thing isn't documented there, but many other things that I commonly see people asking about on forums is!
Second:

Glad to hear that documentation is getting attention. My biggest trouble
with a lot of open source software lack of documentation. There's a lot
of great programmers who want to add wonderful/amazing features to
software. However there are fewer people to follow that up with
documentation/tutorials/videos, etc (There are exceptions to this, of
course). And it's certainly a harder task for software that's quickly
evolving. Of course with everything, limited budgets and limited people
priorities get shifted...
I think the KiCad team is in a unique position (due to autodesk takeover
of Eagle), to be making a product for a known target audience. There's
certainly a need for this software, and PCB CAD should be a pretty
mature technology by now.
Unfortunately my use case requires KiCAD to have some features it does
not yet have. I firmly KiCAD believe it WILL where I need it to be,
although that may still be a few years out.
Until then, I'll keep watching this list. Picking up tidbits here and
there!
