Only reason I used gEDA is because of thin bindings which allow to start with a simple sketch without all details and fill in more information then needed. Start of a new circuit is usually a simple sketch or block diagram altough some components only have one order number others like capacitors,resistor have diferrent values,sizes and order number may be the last step or may even change after board have been delivered.

If it is possible to use fileformat from other software I however think it is a good idea. To copy some other software I think is rather pointless because in such I would be better of start using it directly.
