Goodbye Eagle?
I've been trying to make a new board - for a new chip, more on that later, and am getting incredibly frustrated with Eagle. The library editor is a big weakness, and its whole schematic entry vs. PCB layout paradigm doesn't fit my workflow. (I always create a schematic that's just the same as the PCB, effectively laying out the board twice). I'm looking at pcb. It's certainly hard to get started - but I remember struggling with Eagle for several weeks at first too.
