I'll add one more problem with graphical design tools, including schematics.
The absence of useful equivalents to 'diff -u old new'. It's hard to
diff schematics. You can diff the output netlist, but there are
definitely problems associated with that. Also, the absence of
useful diffs makes version control a pain.
