I'm currently drafting a better spice integration into gschem.
Maybe that could be a project, too.
Anyone who is thinking of improving a spice GUI has got to try
Linear Technology's free SwitcherCAD (aka ltspice). It's the nicest
spice I've ever used. It's a better schematic entry program than
most, too (and that would include Eagle and gschem).
I've played with LTSpice an hour.
Things I like:
* the current and voltage probing (visible marks are missing)
* all entries (simulations and voltage sources) are done with dialog
widgets and also printed in plain text.
* changing the model of a diode or transistor
* the property dialog for each circuit element (right mousebutton)
Things I don't like:
* schematic entry (selecting, moving, ...)
* only one simulation at a time.
This is o.k. for tinkering, but not for real work. I hate it when
using PSpice (schematics) at work. You can't split your workflow into
entry, simulation and postprocessing with it.
