Hi Peter C, I work in the industry. I have lots of confidence in Ales leadership in gEDA-dev in making sure that gEDA remains powerful and generic to allow gEDA to grow in a generic way, so there is no need for me to setup any fork branch of gEDA/gaf.
I will continue to contribute ideas, codes, including voicing my objects to any codes addition/modifications which might turn gEDA/gaf into "not suitable for VLSI design" state. I am sure most of us share the same goal.

I'm just wondering what sort of penetration the tools have.. do any of your colleagues use gEDA too? > Lots of gEDA built-in generic features are not known to > the user who has no time to look into the gEDA core > codes.

If you're doing development work on code for gEDA, you might consider setting up a repository here: http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf.git (choose the "fork" option, and enter something like "geda-gaf/pault" for the project name).
