Sounds interesting from a UI perspective. What about the back-end? Is it
compatible with other EDA tools? Can I load the files into gEDA?

Ales Hvezda, the author of gnetlist is kindly offering to write a
gnetlist backend to export the .XML format netlist files which Liquid
PCB uses.
Meanwhile, another kind soul is trying to compile Liquid PCB for
Linux. I'll make the Makefiles and instructions available as soon as
this happens.

I hope to have Liquid PCB working with gEDA as soon as possible.  Any
contributions gratefully welcome.

Any quibbles WRT my descriptions?

 

It certainly looks like an interesting experiment in both user interface
and PCB style. Couldn't get it to do anything sadly, it just stuck in
dragging a box and wouldn't respond to any icons. There doesn't seem to
be anything in the libraries yet, and no example PCBs that I could find.
