Well, I think low-end is not very specific in reality.  Does gEDA
really belong in the category of EAGLE, or is it much more powerful?

Maybe the âlow-endâ attitude toward gEDA is based on the fact that pcb
doesn't support important features for large and complex boards such as

- trace length matching,
- constraints/routing styles defined at the net level,
- pushing/pulling PCB traces and better support for moving parts with
  traces routed,
- ability to select a component on the PCB by clicking it in the
  schematic view,
- back-annotation to schematic from the PCB editor.

Just a few things that sound important to me, a novice PCB designer.

Regards,
Colin
