Sort of. For most of my stuff, stock Geda usabl, but for some of my more
obscure stuff I'm writing a from scratch CAD system called Tuke:

http://github.com/retep/tuke/tree/master

Mainly I have a number of projects where autogenerated hardware would be
a very good thing, such as big LED arrays and weirder stuff. Tuke will
make it easy to define hardware by writing Python scripts to do the
schematic definition and pcb layout. But Tuke will be at least another
year before it's generally usable, although it does have a simple LED
grid demo right now, usable from the v0.1 tag of the above repository.

Art, controlled by pretty simple digital circuits. All < 100mhz, nothing
fancy in terms of technologies used.

That said, placement for instance is a big pain in PCB. Often I need to
have stuff placed exactly, like the positions of LEDs, and having some
more CAD like features rather than just the grid would be really helpful
at times.
