If you think that gschem has modern UI, even better. Then I suggest to start with development of the new PCB tool for gEDA. Maybe one can take PCB core and program new UI. Then, is GTK still ok for modern GUI these days ? What about wxWidgets ? What I want to say... Let's go with new and better PCB. My todo ideas are mainly related to PCB part of geda. The truth is, that my ideas are quite advanced, like moving routed objects... But still, if there is some way how to have schem/pcb better, go for it. I will be the first who will support such changes.
