I did for five years at my day job -- protel98SE to be exact. There were 
some very useful features that geda/pcb still misses. However, the match is 
much closer than the suggested 1:10. In fact, there are some critical areas 
where the open source alternative wins hands down. 
* true polygons rather than a shaky hatching procedure
* no data loss due to data base failure.
* works on lin, win and mac rather than confined to windows
* integrates nicely with versioning systems
