John, why don't you just fork?  I've already made my own divergent-and-
forever-irreconciliable fork of gaf (uEDA/uschem) due to dissatisfaction
with the "fritterware" direction that gEDA/gaf is heading into, so why
can't you do the same?  This way you and I can have our totally
scriptable UNIX-style high-IQ-requiring toolbox while Peter C and crew
can have their "fritterware", and everyone will be happy with his choice.

That's what I like the most about Free / Open Source Software: the
ability to fork!  I have forked almost every program I use on a daily
basis because what I want is typically the opposite of what the rest of
the world wants.
