Re: gEDA-user: Professional PCB help using geda?

Andy,

John is being to conservative. He is very capable of laying out boards
with PCB with professional skill.

The reality of PCB is that it is capable of 95% of the tasks needed of a
pcb layout program. It only lacks support for ideas such as buried,
blind or micro vias, buiried capcitors or parts sitting on more then two
layers.
