Yes, and the hobby CAD users want it to be that easy and they get it with
limitations from places like PCBExpress.  I would not hurt to have an EZBOARD mode
where most features are hidden and you can make a mixed through hole and surface mount
arduino compatible shield board with a small range of standard
components as EZBOARD as falling off a truck.
If all the docs for that had the different EZBOARD mode name, there would be no fear of
the other features by the low aiming users.

It would not hurt either if that name was picked out carefully and registered instead
of depending on its inherent unpronouncability, (gEDA, gschem), to keep
others from claiming the name.

ezboard might even be available...

EzBoard has now switched all its boards to Yuku.

On September 8, 2011 Yuku was acquired by CrowdGather, Inc.[5] The acquisition included all legacy ezboard domains. [6]
[edit] ezboard history

ezboard is a web application, created in 1996[7] by Vanchau Nguyen. One of the earliest user-customisable online message board 
providers, it quickly grew.
