Just my 2 eurocents of free speech and whine... There could be little light in the end of tunnel if there was one simulator supported.
And supporting more simulators it should be easy if the support mechanism was ...um... well usable and congurable.
Also there could be better support gnetlist which would tell something like "You have put superconductor and ultimate insulator parallel. I can divide by zero but adding infinty and almost zero gives interesting results which you propably don't want." Like CLang compiler in programming world.

Partially true. Sometimes it is easier to manage project in xgschem2pcb than in terminal. Also GSpiceGUI would be good tool if it helped during simulation. For me at least gschem, gnetlist and ngspice gave too steep learning curve and I gave up.
Link to good and thorough tutorial with explanations what is simulated would be very nice.
What I really want to do is put AVR simulator and SPICE to work together. So when Ihave badly designed power supply, source with MCU LEDs and run another in PWM mode I can see how I wrongly loaded the power supply and what happens then with currents. Someone else wants to simulate completely different things. But that is something far away.
Also distributed simualtions would be awesome. However I think signal analysis doesn't work in parallel very well.
But before there is ultimate simulation system which can simulate everything we want I believe enhancing gnetlist would be the best way and adding some simulation rule checking.
