Part of the reason may be seen on youtube. Yesterday, I was surprised
to see a number of geda/PCB tutorials there. I watched only a few. All 
of them made schematic capture look difficult and an enduring task. It
was not that the commentator directly sad so, but because there were 
so many steps involved before a result was visible. There were major 
misconceptions, too. E.g., one author insists, you have to be root to 
change symbols in the lib...

Looks like, the lesson to be learned here is: Us power users should engage
and write better tutorials and make them visible. Upload videos on youtube 
blog about it, write articles in Make Magazine, etc.
