Integration is king. That's why John Ousterhout invented TCL and 
Stallman guile. A gEDA framework that can be extended to wrap about

Educational market is in my opinion covered with the crippeled 
versions of about any tool that has an educational version. The 
effort of sweeten up  the application with artificial sugar should 
rather be invested in making the applications work better with each 
other.
