Electric VLSI Design System
Version: JAVA
Creator: http://www.electriceditor.com/

This is a very extensive CAD system.
This is a very extensive CAD system. It used to be commercial until Electric Editor, Inc released it under GPL for pubicity to sell their commercial modules for it. Electric can handle many forms of circuit design, including:
Custom IC layout
Schematic Capture (digital and analog)
Textual Languages such as VHDL and Verilog
Electro-mechanical hybrid layout
Programmable logic (FPGAs)
The free version of Electric supports a number of file formats, but EDIF and SDF require a commercial module from Electric Editor, Inc (though you're free to write a GPL'd one!) Electric includes a fairly extensive manual.

The only thing I have against this system is, the layout
connectivity depends on you using the "arc" construct
and if you stream out & in, the "arc" is gone. Meaning
you are not able to do any verification of hookup, on a
design that has not been started and kept within the
system.

Other than that it is one of the more complete, out there.

SPICE simulators are a dime a dozen and the first
eleven are free.
