Ah, but the architects also are users. They know how the other ends of their lines work. > If the gEDA goal is to > achieve some kind of penetration into the industrial world such input > will be very important. I don't speak for the big guns (I'm only a minor developer), but I perceive your corner of the industrial world as a dead end for EDA. The future will belong to toolkits that can automate more of the design process, not merely assist in drafting circuits. The future will belong to designers who are equally comfortable with programming and drafting. We've all used the other tools and seen how they frustrate automation. > If that is not the goal then it will not be > important. The kinds of tools you seem to want already exist, and it is not gEDA's job to duplicate them. You say you find them wanting. You will always find them wanting: that's the inevitable plight of a demanding software consumer. But if you master a toolkit you can fly free... Hurray for gEDA! Thanks, especially, Ales.
