The thing to understand is that gEDA's unique component (gnetlist)  
doesn't have a GUI at all. Its functions go far beyond netlisting: it  
produces any data "view" into the schematics that you need. All you  
need to do to customize it is a little Scheme programming.

Scheme is difficult? Oh, come on. It's just a stripped-down Lisp. Put  
a little syntactic sugar on top of it, call it Logo, and you can  
teach it to 8 year olds...

The cultural background here isn't really Linux: it's MIT EECS.
