Its nice is getting occupied by kicad to the point that prospective new 
users most likely will look no further.
 
Note, that kicad is similar to geda in many ways:
* is completely open source
* symbols and footprints contributed by regular users
* separate schematics and layout editor
* non-standard paradigms of user interface
* a certain old school flair of the look and feel of the UI
* interacts with third party open sourced tools
