I prefer what we have for schematics. With any of these hairy standards you need a language binding. But gEDA files are easy enough without one. For example, there are thousands of useful things you can do with one-liners like:

Kakuzen:Schematic jpd$  awk '/^C /{print $7}' Interface.*.sch | sort | uniq
Artix.sym
ArtixJTAG.sym
ArtixPower.sym
DB9-1.sym
DS26C32-1.sym
…

Now, with YAML and a language binding I could write a command to do this specific thing, but I’d never be able to remember its name a week later.
