It's a problem of time and energy. Both are limited.

The simulator seems to generate the correct output, so until proven
otherwise, it's good enough (tm). I'm adding test cases, so if someone
can make a test which show a problem, then we it can be tested.


Qucs project has some nice, free documentation on simulation. In some
cases I use that.

Agreed.

This issue needs more investigation. In theory kdevplatform is nice
but the implementation has some problems. Maybe we should hack it
around, and ship a hacked version with ktechlab. But then we have to
maintain that.

Kdevplatform tries to be a software platform, for easier development
and high integration.
