> This isn’t so common, as it employs the subcircuit symbols, thus pulling in the same schematics that we use for Allegro layout. Is there any other EDA system that can do this? Usually, simulation schematics and layout schematics are different things.

To use a subcircuit symbol to make simulation on the same schematic as is used for real circuit is a very strong point about gEDA.

I sometimes use the same method to test software functions. In VHDL I think write test bench which is the same concept is very common.
