A common complaint. But when you look deeper you find that nearly everyone who makes this complaint has a different idea of what a "properly defined symbol" might be. There are so many ways to use gEDA, and millions of electronic parts on the market. A library of a trillion symbols would not suffice.

The big time wasters are tools that force your project away from the flow it needs. gEDA doesn't do that.
