While I admit that I'm a bit biased since I'm a moderator over on 
the AutoTRAX group, I'd have to differ on your 'marginally useful' 
assessment of it. Yes, it does have a beta feel to it but that's 
primarily because it's under such active development. I've done a 
couple of paid projects with it as well as number of homebrew boards 
for my own use.

P.S. You're absolutely right that making parts (and footprints too) 
is a snap.
