Most gEDA symbols are fine, I have replaced only a few for my projects:

- some original gEDA symbols has unnecessary visible pin numbers, i.e
batteries (and some other devices)

- some important power/voltage symbols are missing -- was necessary to
make a few, so I make a whole collection.

- a few symbols look not very nice (for me) i.e. transistor.

- I was not happy with in-1.sym, out-1.sym, io-1sym -- can not remember
the reason.

I think, there can always be in rare cases a reason to make a custom
symbol.

I was not aware of name conflicts when I created them -- now I hesitate
to rename my own ones.

I hope both versions can leave together in peace on my hard disk.


Most of my symbols are available at gedasymbols -- all are drawn from
scratch and licensed GPL and unlimited for use.
