Do you really think they would use gschem when it runs fine on Windows?

It is my feeling that Windows people simple do not like the somewhat old
fashioned GTK look and feel of gschem/pcb, and the fact that there is no
integrated unit for schematic, pcb layout and simulation.

These free as beer DesignSpark seems to become more and more popular
now, beside KiCad.

There was recently a stupid poll in a german forum, of course very
arbitrary and biased. Right column is the number of 'users'...
