John Doty says it all: Gschem is a fairly shallow tool doing one particular task. And the goal should be that gschem does its job good. Together with its friends it is possible to build workflows which can be resurrected years later when that little fix is needed. I can't think of anything less productive than installing all those intermediate versions of commercial tools just to bring the file format up to date. -- Svenn
