OK, you don't like inkscape. but why rule out python? it's faster to code than c++ and more important, it will be far easier to get code contributors(and probably kickstarter support ).

I like Inkscape fine. I use it often to make diagrams in papers. I just don't think it's good for designing PCBs.

I said I totally agree that python should be the scripting engine.

Usually the scripting part is relatively small, i believe.

How much percent of writing such a tool would be in python ?
