Chris Smith: ... > The final ’nail in the coffin’ for geda, and the reason that I canned > my own effort, was KiCAD’s switch to a plain text S-expression file > format. Kicad's use of that format is faulty, in this I agree with Tibor Palinkas: http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?project=pcb-rnd&cmd=show&node=kicad_fmt_fun > KiCAD now ticks every box for me that geda once did, in addition to > being actively developed, supported and working out-of-the-box on > multiple platforms. I can use each of the KiCAD tools in a non-PCB, > workflow agnostic manner if I need to, just as I did with geda. Good for you. For me, kicad fails due to . inferiour hierarchical support . no copy and paste between running programs . difficult to run multiple instances of the same program at least up to v.5.1.9.
