It was just a joke, but since I had to explain myself, it was obviously
not a good one... ;-)
While I prefer "one tool does one job well", I also don't like needing
to keep multiple gui's open to do one job. If gschem is going to keep
the ability to add non-essential (to schematic capture) attributes, it
should at least facilitate seeking those attributes out. Or, farm it
out to a modified gattrib and call gattrib. Similar to how Ubuntu's
Synaptic Package manager is just a gui wrapper to dpkg and friends.
thx,
Jason.
