Re: gEDA-user: What is the standard of gEDA tools and PCB

[Xtian Xultz <xultz@ig.com.br>]

I disagree with yout, DeeJay.
I never used a so produtive software like PCB. You interact with him
very, very fast, and thats a very important point.
I think that some of the ideas of the user interact of PCB should be
used in gschem.
I understant what you mean when you say that is strange for the 
"normal" users, but, like the Murphy Law says, make some that an 
idiot can use, and only idiots will use it :D Its just a joke, but
I think that a electronic professional must study his tools, the 
tools he use, so, is better have a diferent but extremely productive
interface as a "intuitive" interface.
