Simulation.
Symbolic circuit analysis.
Automatic documentation generation.
Import/export of design data from/to other tools.
For an example of the last, right now I=92m working with an FPGA =
designer and a printer circuit board designer. I do the mixed signal =
engineering and schematic capture part with gEDA. I also simulate the =
analog blocks (gnet-spice-noqsi and ngspice). The FPGA designer exports =
a .csv file of pin numbers, names and characteristics from her Xilinx =
tools. I have a file that relates pin names to net names. I grind those =
through a simple AWK script that generates a file of pin number to net =
name relations, and then grind that through pins2gsch. Gnetlist then =
merges that with other pin maps and schematic data, producing an Allegro =
netlist for the board designer. Try doing that kind of collaborative =
work with KiCad.
