I think everyone agrees that pcb needs a lot of work. On the other hand, geda-gaf is matiure, effective, and easy to extend with scripting. Pcb development requires a great deal of collaboration. Geda-gaf development mostly does not, as anybody can write and publish a script. > > There would be much less controversy if these projects were separated. They represent radically different development patterns: conflating them causes much confusion and strife. +1 I believe separating projects (discussions) would made them more fruitful.
