Unlike the big $$ packages, the gEDA developers are pretty good about  
avoiding "fixes" that are kludges hiding symptoms rather than  
actually fixing underlying causes. It seemed to me that one big $$  
package I used years ago introduced a new bug for every bug they  
"fixed". I have not had that experience with gEDA.

Can Eagle do VLSI? Or work with whatever tool my customer's preferred  
layout contractor uses? Or extract symbolic data from a schematic for  
analysis? Should I pay for a package that can't actually execute  
*any* of the project flows I use with gEDA, and locks me into a  
closed system?
