But 90% of the common users expect "obvious" things to work.  Cutting
and pasting between applications should "just work".  The gEDA+pcb
flow should "just work".  Yes, there will be power users, and yes,
there will be other flows, but wouldn't it be nice if the zillions of
university students picking up gEDA+pcb for the first time had a good
and easy experience with it?

A program should do one thing well.  Capturing circuit information
(regardless of what that is) and providing that to a layout system
(regardless of what *that* is) is that one thing here.

Let's not set our scope *too* narrow.
