Autocad Eagle 8.0 PCB
Richard Ibbotson
http://www.autodesk.com/products/eagle/overview
As a long time user of Eagle for PCB layout and schematics, I am taking a look.
They are moving to a subscription model, which will upset many I guess.
Not clear on whether licensing of free version now allows commercial use.
Trying to keep an open mind.

It’s all up in the air.
Many opportunities for progress, differing tech. opinions, and for feathers to fly.
Favourite entertainment for hackers.

Interesting, I wonder how the libraries and fusion 360 integrations are...

lobotomy and a trip back to 1985?
Or alternatively, has someone comes up with a textual representation
of schematics; I mean, that is *exactly* the kind of thing that
could/should be text based. Some sort of meta-netlist really.

I saw an article on Hackaday where someone had devised a way of designing components, and groups of components, using Python. I'll dig out a link.
All the main Kicad files are in ASCII, and are pretty easy to edit. I have successfully hacked some difficult to design traces into a PCB file

I'm not sure what you mean, latest KiCAD has all kinds of good stuff in the schematic editor, it does subsheets, and erc and all sorts of stuff.

"TL;DR
Never use a lousy schematic editor again! SKiDL is a simple module that lets you describe electronic circuits using Python. The resulting Python program outputs a netlist that a PCB layout tool uses to create a finished circuit board."

Though you could do the same with the KiCad files themselves, and if you took opportunities to label parts / nets etc sensibly, the files probably bear a diff comparison
