I agree 100% with that.  I'm currently looking for some non-EDA related 
software for something and high up on my priority list is that I have 
the ability to dump out my data (perhaps with some programming or 
scripting effort on my part) into a format that I can get into a 
different tool.  That bit alone is turning me off to several commercial 
tools.
