I started using gschem+PCB because I needed to make a big 4 layer board,
and there was no way I was going to pay to put up with the quirks of
Eagle.  So instead I used gschem+PCB and hacked on the quirks.  I remember
thinking that it was a bummer that there wasn't a great standard parts
library.  I also remember when I realized how crazy it was to rely on ANY
standard parts library.  And if you're making footprints and symbols,
text files generated by scripts are FAR superior to any GUI.  I'd never
get 100-1000 pins right if I had to use a GUI.
