OK, now I understand. I personally use just gschem/pcb combination and haven't
 tried anything else up to now. So my assumption was not so impersonal as it  
should be. Sorry for that.

Anyway I would still like more modern PCB with more modern features and UI 
consistent to gschem. I had a look at liquidpcb (as it was one of targets of 
gnetlist) but this pcb is about 2 years without any update. And again, no 
tight cooperation with gschem...
