Cool - we got you to de-lurk.... I've looked at gEDA, not so much for board layout (haven't done any machining of PCBs yet), but as a tool for doing graphical HAL configuration. HAL configs are basically netlists, with some additional info. Others, especially tomp, have taken it farther, and actually have something working. Knowing that a gEDA developer lurks here might be handy.
