Simulation is as simple as pushing a button? Which simulator? Where are models? Which notion of hierarchy are you using? Which schematics? How are your stimuli generated? How is output displayed? So many options. Putting this into gschem is too complicated. You’d need subsystems for script editing and something like make. Except that excellent tools for those jobs already exist. A toolkit should use them, not reinvent them badly.

If you release a version with a “simulate” button, the very next day some user will complain that it couldn’t find a 2N2222 model.
