Indeed five years ago I started with some Cairo drawing on a GTK drawing area for fun -- later that evolves to my gschem clone. But at that time I was not aware how unpopular GTK now is. So for your plan you have to select a GUI toolkit and a drawing toolkit and maybe a language. And start work. Autorouter for schematic capture was already suggested, I think one time by Kai Martin. And that German guy with his Java schematics editor tried it also. To the Xi tool: Yes, I think I have seen it already years ago. But designing a GUI toolkit and a CAD tool at the same time, that is really a very, very big effort.
