Gnetlist is the *key* utility in the flow. That's what makes it possible for gEDA to support abstract circuit analysis, simulation, VLSI design, and of course, printed circuit design with a wide variety of tools, including pcb.

If gEDA wasn't so flexible, pcb couldn't use it for schematic capture, because pcb has nothing like that flexibility.

Guile? An implementation of Scheme, one of the simplest, easiest to learn programming languages around. A major factor in gEDA's radical flexibility.

Without the capability "gnetlist with guile" brings here, neither you nor I would be using gEDA.
