That=92s the =93development is a good thing=94 ideology. But in reality, =
it=92s only a good thing if it=92s a good thing. In the early days of =
gEDA, a variety of people wrote a variety of back ends. Is there much =
need for more? There=92s more scope for plugins that *modify* back end =
behavior, but we haven=92t really created that culture. On my todo list.

That said, I approve of new tools with new scripting languages and =
paradigms.
