Same here.

gsch2pcb offers a bit more transparency.  There are three output files
that can be inspected to know what is going on.

Maybe the Import offers the same transparency, but that suffers from
lack of discoverability.

That gsch2pcb modifies the PCB file is bad, though.  If the deletion of
Elements and the value changes could be done with the exported script
that would be good.
