Sad but true.

The advantage of such a statement is that any one who responds will
inevitably risk being the creator of a flamewar by restarting those
two fights. All they can do is talk in very general terms.

How is this different from the makefile driven simulation we already
have? I mean we already support ng-spice and others.

The ways in which we are lagging are most glaring to new users in pcb
and in compatibility with other programs. There is one prize left up
for grabs that will pull a lot of the user base that cares about open
hardware and wants open software to do it. Compatibility with Eagle
and KiCad. I know I have pushed for other stuff in the past but I
think we need compatibility now or we will fall so far off the map no
one will consider using much less contributing to gEDA or it's forks.
