Hello Duncan,
gSchem, kicad and xcircuit serves two design flows:
- ASIC design (xcircuit)
- PCB design (kicad,gEDA)
This blog post explains a basic ASIC design flow in which xcircuit plays
an important role:

As for PCB design, we currently have kicad and gEDA. I personally
recommend gEDA as its developers are very active and they listen to the
community's suggestions.
The gEDA community has also a website dedicated for symbols and many
scripts to automate the design flow.
http://www.gedasymbols.org/
It is true however that we lack a robust component libraries for both ASIC
design and PCB design. If you are willing to help I would suggest you to
create symbols and footprints for your favourite devices
(fpga,memory,converters,amplifiers) of your favourite manufacturer (analog
devices, xilinx,..). Afterwards, we will push your symbols and footprints
to the gEDA package (geda-symbols). What do you think ?
