I've recently tried 10 or so schematic capture programs from Ubuntu repository and my experience was very bad. Designing single transistor amplifier was almost impossible in most of them. Ridiculous ui, crashes, simple things like changing resistor value and seeing change required 10s of clicks. I ended up designing scheme in caneda, then I made a screenshot and exported netlist. Then I made simple app in lazarus where I put image in the window and added panels atop of each element, when I scrolled mouse above panel it changed that value in netlist by 1% and instantly run netlist in spice and rendered transient chart. No clicking, no switching modes, no dialogs. In hour or so I had amplifier tuned. Doing this in any of those existing programs would take me a month.
