You don't want to dumb down the toolkit. Now, if somebody wants to write a fat, sweet integrated tool using the gEDA file formats, but tuned to the student/hobbyist market, I would cheer. Hobbyists and students are very important: they are the future. But gEDA is not that: instead it is a toolkit of broad capability, far beyond what its designers expected, I think. gEDA is the toolkit for *experts* doing *great* things *now*. Let's not lose that. One size does not fit all here.
