Re: gEDA-user: gEDA just hit SlashDotOrg

   Make is a great tool and it is disappointing that CS departments
   ignore it.  They use gcc and give you the compile command and never
   teach make!  If students knew make then they could use toolkits
   instead of fritterware.

   The tools that do what you want are fritterware that doesn't scale
   well. While with gEDA I can check a project out from CVS, type
   something like "make ChainTest.out", have all the subcircuit netlists
   and stimulus files built, data reduction programs compiled, SPICE
   run, data reduced, output generated...
   Now *that's* how you eliminate *real* tedious, productivity-sapping
   procedure. I don't even remember how all these machinations work, but
   I can read the Makefiles if I need to know.

   Got the job done, didn't it? Does every EDA tool have to turn into
   fritterware for the computer illiterate? I'm grateful there's one
   that hasn't.
