I tried Lepton-eda 1.9.9 for the first time shortly after gEDA 1.10.0 
was released, but by then I was hooked on the far superior (IMHO) gEDA 
1.10.0 GUI. I found the Lepton GUI was old-school and I dropped Lepton 
and continued using gEDA since then. Lepton made a nice effort during a 
time when gEDA was relatively dormant (no releases for years), but until 
they update the Lepton GUI, Lepton is not for me. I am glad to see that 
gEDA development has improved and releases are more frequent. I thank 
everyone on the gEDA development team for their efforts.
