Full ack. 
I like to have both options in my toolbox. For occasional tasks a mouse 
oriented GUI usually gets the job done way faster with less frustration. 
But if I do a task more frequently, or use a larger percentage of the 
available features, a CLI is my preferred mode of operation. To me it 
seems, gschem/pcb could integrate more keyboard power into their 
respective UI. Scripting and numerical entry of coords is not very 
powerful or not  present at all. Are there plans to push this kind of 
features?
