The MIT guy who does prototype layout for my spaceflight instruments uses (and likes) Osmond. I can’t comment on it, though, I don’t use it. On some projects, we use a contractor to lay out the final product. Geda-gaf has the enormous advantage that I can easily export the same schematics to a different layout tool for different project phases. Right now, it’s Allegro.
