But the right kind of specialization leads to flexibility. Consider that gschem is a very suitable tool for chip design, circuit simulation, symbolic circuit analysis, block diagrams, even hydraulics (and, of course, printed circuit boards). The key is that it specializes in capturing component connectivity and associating metadata with objects.
