Xorn and pcb are part of the gEDA project.
Lepton is a fork. Those of us involved consider it more faithful to the =
original gEDA vision.
Xorn and Lepton use a common file format, so you may use both on the =
same project if you want.
Pcb-rnd could perhaps have been considered a fork of pcb at the start, =
but it=E2=80=99s drastically changed.

Is anyone using Lepton with pcb? That=E2=80=99s only one of many =
possible flows.
