Fritzing - you get what you pay for. Not really an optimal design tool.
I'm inclined to agree with you, now more than ever because of my issue with the foot print obviously, but for those out there who're just starting out I'll hasten to add that it's a great visualizer for getting into electronics, with its combined breadboard/schematic/PCB view. I probably wouldn't have begun to design my own boards if it hadn't been for Fritzing. So good for beginners as an try point into the more serious programs like Eagle and such.
