In contrast, here's a possible vision of the future:

Works fine for art.  I mean, engineering is art, too, so why not?

I'd love to have waveforms at my fingertips.

The ultimate in breadboarding: instant simulation results, without the 
trouble of soldering things together, and producing magic smoke.

Downside: while we have the computational power to do it (if not necessarily 
the optimizations to avoid Amdahl's law*), SPICE development has been 
utterly stagnant over the past three decades.  It would be foolish to think 
that would change "because VR".

But one can hope.

*Numerical simulations are timestepped, but there are some known shortcuts, 
like for quasi-periodic cycle-averaged systems, which are common enough to 
be worth addressing.  Unfortunately they aren't in any free tools...
