Assuming you are talking about https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools, I believe that was just a misunderstanding and has been resolved.

If you use JLCPCB, then you need this tool. It generates all required files. Let’s you select parts and easily correct component rotation. https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools

Yeah, I like Kicad but EasyEDA has time saving integration with their libraries and PCBA service.Does someone know if this library is any good? https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
wasn't there an addon or something that allowed to browse through lcsc/jlcpcb library in kicad, and then easily use pick an place function, and then export it all to the format required by jlc?

Plus, KiCad has tons of awesome features (including third party tools to make exporting to JLCPCB super easy! Link here.) while being free and open source, all that good stuff.

Only semi related, but I can highly recommend the kicad-jlcpcb-tools plugin, it only takes 2 buttons to not only create gerbers but also placement and bom files if you ever want your board assembled
wasn't there a python script to get the jlcpcb libraries and put em on kicad?

I tried out a couple of JLC Kicad plugins, and thought that this one was by far the best: https://github.com/Bouni/kicad-jlcpcb-tools
