Be nice. Top-posters should generally refrain from imprecations and
calumny.

Standard Gerber files are indeed, well, standard. However, for the
onesie-twosie user, a proprietary format isn't that big a deal --
especially if the overall project cost is acceptable. It's not like
their target customer is intending to go out for multiple bids on 100K
lots, is it?

I'm personally happy with the gEDA toolchain but I can see where the
PCB123 guys could have a useful market niche.
