Yes I do. The task is editing a text label -- very similar for all CAD
tools. I see that PCB editing and schematics editing is very different,
indeed I have often argued against people saying "we need only one
single tool for both", and I can understand that it makes sense to have
differences in user interfaces (PCB editing is faster with keyboard
shortcuts). But editing a label text is basically the same for all CAD
tools, and the question is: Do people really prefer to use such a popup
dialog instead of in place editing. Personally I work from time to time
on my gschem clone, tuned to a nice look and easy friendly user
interface.
