That=92s not a limitation on what you can design.

Grep is your friend. The textutils can do 10,000 things with .sch files. =
No GUI tool will ever be able to do all, or even most of them.

You confuse wants with needs.

Random EEs are often not the UNIX-savvy users who are most comfortable =
with geda-gaf.
