What's your opinion about gEDA?

It would be really cool to create a "total GNU" solution for the GNURADIO.
GNU EDA tools, GNU-like Hardware (open-source community license),
GNU FPGA-code, GNU µC-Code, GNU signal processing (the existing Gnuradio),
GNU operating system, GNU postprocessing (GNU Octave), GNU visualization
(gnuplot) ...

I have only worked with Mentor Graphics and Protel before. Don't know if gEDA
is really suitable to handle all the EDA processes to prepare manufacturing
(auto-routing, EMI analysis and simulations, prepare the CNC drilling ... ?)
