There are some physicists with very less knowledge of electronics, and
there are electronics engineers with very less knowledge of physics.

That may be OK, but may be a problem in a team doing astronomic space
observation.

For gEDA, a gschem variant with some more knowledge about electronics
may be not too bad, e.g. for detecting wrong wirings during schematic
entry.
