Yes, PCB and xcircuit.  I haven't used gschem.

Both PCB and xcircuit attempt (and generally succeed at)
back-compatibility, but not forward compatibility.  That
means I have to be careful to use the same version on my
multiple computers, and if I upgrade, anyone else who wants
to use my designs also has to upgrade.
