As far as I can tell kicad is having the same issue with eeschema that
geda has with PCB

http://ci.kicad-pcb.org/job/kicad-doxygen/ws/Documentation/doxygen/html/md_Documentation_development_road-map.html
look for "Coherent SCHEMATIC Object"

Actually looking at that list geda kind of feels like it is in many
ways ahead of them.
