07/20/2020, 2:18 PM@yrrapt - I've been playing with xschem myself and it seems a very promising tool. I'm struggling with the spice netlist generation in batch mode (to be able to generate a new netlist from a Makefile for example). Have you been able to do that ?

According to him, xschem and xcircuit are the only ones capable to handle very large circuits. That's something I didn't consider in my trials but that's certainly a very good criteria
