Hi Diego,
some of my users with more complex editing tasks (and familiar with CAD
software) are complaining about not having similar possibilities in QGIS
and I admit that our CAD has much more to offer in that respect
(snapping, construction), so thanks for the move.
IMHO the best would be to have CAD-like functions in QGIS (strategy #1)
because
1) many people missing these functions already might use some CAD or
another to get their work done and are exchanging data between the two
systems (with all problems), so strategy #2 would simply exchange their
CAD software (if they are willing to change)
2) and more important: many things that work in CAD do not work in GIS
and vice versa, e.g. CAD: line color, hatching, dimensioning...., GIS:
attributes. Splines could be resolved into polylines, resembling the
original spline, though. In short words: CAD is about drawing, GIS is
about data modelling. So if you have the functions in QGIS you can more
easily prevent users from doing silly things.

I totally agree with Bernhard. Extending his CAD tools is the best solution.
No, no, CAD tools is Stefan Ziegler's extension, see [1]
