Too bad I am not a software developer and not be able to 
help a lot on this. Anyway I will still be able to continue
to do what I can not do in Linux in Windows. Anyway, Linux
has made a lot of progress over the last 7 years (first
touched Linux in 1998).

I have not looked at gEDA yet. I will have a look at it.

By the way, other than Hitech PICC,  I do not know any
highly refined tools on Linux for PIC development. Generally
speaking, there are no good 8/16bit MCU development tools 
under Linux other than those supported by GCC (AVR, HC12, H8,
etc). 

This is quite different from the IC design world. All major
tools there seem to support Linux first. Of course they are
high cost tools.

I think you might be expecting too much of many of these projects.
Unless you wish to contribute some time to them? :)

Although far from perfect GEDA might be what you are looking for
http://www.geda.seul.org/ 
Have a looksie.

If you are expecting highly refined toolks on Linux, you'll likely need
to pay for them.  Linux is a low priority for cheap software comercial
developement at the moment I think.
