[sdiy] PCB Design Software?

[Tom Wiltshire]

I've tried Eagle and Orcad, and hated them both. Finding a PCB  
package I can actually work with is a problem remaining to be solved.

They both feel like packages that have been ported from one system to  
another for about the last ten years, each time adding more  
"features" and menus and layers on top of the accretion that is there  
already. Ugh! Time to rewrite from scratch the modern way, instead of  
reusing and reusing the old code.
