And we've been hearing that users want a way to manage components, a better scripting language than guile, and a better way to handle busses. A tool can be "fine" without supporting every feature under the sun. > Almost all of them do their drawing with gschem, but if you read > this list, almost all of the trouble they have is with pcb. Because drawing schematics is a simple process, whereas laying out a circuit board is complex. And most of the trouble is in the "betweens" - the transistor problem, back/forward annotation, component databases, busses. Gschem is a tiny part of a large toolkit, don't assume that because gschem "works" means that the rest of the toolkit is problem-free. > That makes no sense. Pcb is dependent on geda-gaf to be > useful. That makes no sense. PCB is older than gschem, it was useful before geda even existed.
