At least in the past free Eagle had a two page limitation which encouraged
designers to cram things into less space than they should otherwise take
for readability.

I also really dislike it's system of storing power pins in separate symbols
and the weird generic net and pin names with $ signs everywhere. Horrible
default colors as well.
