As a beginner/hobbiest I must say that I'm thrilled not to have to pay
anything and get a usable tool suite.

I find the gEDA tools (gschem primarily in my case) and PCB worked very
well for me on Linux or OS/X. Its wonderful to not have to compromise
my OS preferences for another platform which I would prefer not to work
on. I realize a **great deal of functionality** might be missing from
these tools, but for me - I can work with them. I have source to see how
the tools work. Mailing lists to get direct support from other users,
and developers.
