About the nicest free schematic package that I've seen is SwitcherCAD from 
Liner Technology <http://www.linear-tech.com/software/>.  This is a 
full-blown SPICE simulation package but you can ignore all that if you 
don't need it.  But the schematic capture portion of the package is a thing 
of beauty.  It is easy to use and definitely produces a professional result.
