If a production tool should go with the flow regarding GUI, I think
productivity would disappear fairly quickly. John Doty says it all:
Gschem is a fairly shallow tool doing one particular task. And the
goal should be that gschem does its job good. Together with its
friends it is possible to build workflows which can be resurrected
years later when that little fix is needed. I can't think of anything
less productive than installing all those intermediate versions of
commercial tools just to bring the file format up to date.
