Homebrew PCBs

I've been watching this thread with somewhat bitten tongue.  heh heh.

I use eagle for a number of reasons but primarily, you get a very 
full featured product in the demo version (limited to size of 
board).  I tried a number of other packages but the demo versions had 
confusing restrictions and the price for the paid version was pretty 
steep (for an amateur).  They have a very active and helpful (with 
attitude, though) user group and there are tons of libraries 
available.  

I have to say that eagle is not with out its problems, especially the 
user interface which has it moments of user hostility.  (clipboard 
interface is just plain a PITA) and the library editor could be 
better.  So I have a love-hate relationship but I'm not moving to 
some other package.

A big factor for me was that I could get a "non-comercial" license 
for the full product for 150.  Now that's a bargain.  And should I 
need to design commercial products, the full license is less than a 
grand.
