Most people who find gEDA difficult to use do not understand the work flow and/or the utility programs that glue the different applications together. It has been my experience
This is true for *any* program used for EDA. The ones that are paid for
usually have a department of people to take care of these users. Support on
Free and Open Source most likely starts with RTFM which is what most
people /never/ do when they get something new between their hands.
I certainly wouldn't want any of those people working for me.
