From the help button in the top right, it looks like you can rotate and flip the components. (To GP)It definitely wasn't the easiest to find, maybe have a tutorial video showing how you are doing some of the things like rotating and moving traces to the bottom layer in the main video? Looks pretty good so far though; I might give it a try later with a board I've made before.

[Edit] A grid would be killer too; great suggestion.

[Final Edit] Tooltips on the components/actions would help your goal of making electronic design simpler/easier to do.
