Yes, I know this, and I've used some softwares.

Yes, I think so.

Well, I used Ghemical for teaching organic chemistry, it's very useful
in organic molecular struction. And I think you are right, the interface
is not convenient.

Yes, thank you, and I'd like to try this software.

I have an advice, remove this link
http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/edu/tasks/chemistry.html
because I think it's spare. Why we need this if there is a much more
complete source in http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/chemistry.html?
Or maybe merge these two will be another good idea.
At last, I deeply appreciate your helps! Thank you all!
