What about = compatibility of symbols, pcb's, etc.

Symbols = and schematics remain compatible. I=E2=80=99ve lately been "cutting and = pasting" quite a bit from an old gEDA design into a new lepton = design.

lepton, like gEDA = originally, has no layout component. It has returned to the original = concept that export to various layout tools is supported without = favoring any one in particular. If you like pcb, you may use it with = lepton.
