+1, and also for verilog and VHDL, verilog is my favorite.
"be a netlister" is an odd thing for a GUI though, I'd think of it as a
separate project manager with hooks for importing, exporting, popping up
schematic editor windows, layout windows, verilog code windows, symbol editor windows,
VHDL code windows, and with configurable buttons for launching and using make files.
"netlister" is best thought of a as a library for translation.
I would skip the idea of having several versions of netlists internal and unnamed
for gschem uses, and instead just have the versions be external files with names
based on the base schematic name:
sch_name-orig.net
sch_name-as-drawn.net
sch_name-as-layout.net
for purposes of checking forward and back annotations.
