It better, it supports umpteen netlist formats.
gEDA looks pretty good. A few things I don't like:
1. No official Windows support - and only some components have been ported. No easy place to find Windows binaries.
2. Interface is scattered design-wise between components. Severe multi-window, multi-tool design.
3. No eye candy (yet - http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/)
The "no Windows" may stop some people who might otherwise be able to contribute. Perhaps someone in the community can work on a stable mingw port of the entire suite. But I suppose anyone can use even commercial apps to create schematics files and netlists provided it can ultimately be converted into the format of your choosing.
Well, what do I know, it's unlikely I'll be assisting with that part of it. But it looks like it comes down to gEDA versus Kicad for free, open-source all-in-one EDA suites.
