Dj you own a tool box, I've seen you build mechanical things. gEDA is a toolkit (toolbox), with your logic gnu unix is a tool.
If I want to clean up the cylinder an engine block I get out an engine block hone, I do not get out a wire brush. Now in gEDA terms. When you want to edit a schematic, you break out gschem, and when you want bulk changes to attributes you get out gattrib. and when you doing something crazy you make a new tool, say in your favorite language for the job. 100% agreement with John; gEDA is a toolkit, not a single tool. being through, Kit: 1. A set of articles or equipment needed for a specific purpose : a first-aid kit. Not the computer science meaning of toolkit like GTK.
