Of course not, and that's a dumb thing to ask for, unless you have a
scientific poll that says otherwise.

Perhaps you are not a typical user.  If so, yay for you that you found
something atypical that suits your needs.  But don't assume you
represent the majority of our user base.  Most users of *any* software
package just want to get their job done and move on.

> If there are such gEDA users, they are not very discerning.

I'll thank you to not insult our users.

> But gEDA is not consumer software, and hurray for that.

I wonder why you praise "difficult to use" as a feature...
