My personal hit list of weaknesses is more concerned with usability. Much

Me too. I think the weakest part of gEDA is the lack of
a good symbol and foot print library. basically everyone
has to make their own.
What would be great is a translator that co

Besides the translate ideas already mentioned, you can take a layout and convert
some of the layers to .png format and make
of writing something to perform this task if necessary.
Is there a gotcha I'm missing here?

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure that geda/gaf will satisfy my needs in terms
of coming up with new designs - I'm looking at making small circuit boards for
1-2 kW motor drive applications - nothing in RF or high speed - and I try to
keep them to 2 layers so that I can make cheap protos. That bei
I was in a similar position a couple of month back, wondering whether
geda/gaf was a capable tool and whether committing to it would be a
good idea. I have only really worked with the schematic editor
(gschem) and the netlister (I use a subcontractor to do layout which
is done in PCAD).

This can also be turned around. What are the rquirements that you have
for an eda tool set?
I tend to list the weaknesses of geda/pcb from my perspective.
1) Lack of support for hierarchical buses.
2) pcb lacks buried, blind and micro vias.
3) no back annotation between pcb and gschem.
