The most obvious obstacle in the migration path is the lack of conversion 
tools. There is no way to go to and from other EDA suites that play in 
the same league (eagle, kicad, protel98).

In the context of the slashdot article: Gschem does not interface very 
well with gnucap. There is no student-proof to just simulate a section of 
a schematic. Instead, it takes a rather tedious procedure just to get the 
response of a LC filter.
