Which are the biggest looking gEDA warts?  The ones that make
good, command line driving engineers-that-write-programs still stick with the 
idea that the Mentor Graphics, Synopsys, Cadence, Pspice, ModelSim, etc are more 
trustworthy and speedy.

Even though only a few seats per large company are afforded, and they often have 
to wait for a license to use them?


My vote for the biggest warts:

wart -- Time it takes to set up to do a demo of something like "find the parts 
that have been changed in both schematic symbol and footprint and replace with 
the new ones".

wart -- Is there a way to set up iverilog with gtkwave?  Why is ver 2.0 
seemingly dead? and the latest version debian package is 1.3.81?  And gtkwave 
seems to have two home page sites saying they have the most recent version -- 
one 1.3.24 and the other 3.0.22?

These situations probably put off some people.
