Well, i'll just throw in i use target.
It has reasonable pricing for what i needed (700 pins for 150eur), with
which you can earn money, and i sure did.
Prices go up pretty steep from there though.
There is a english version (although it was not so great a translation
when i last looked), and a free demo with 100pins no commercial use at
http://www.ibfriedrich.com/.Back then when i had to choose i selected it because i had previous
experience from way back, and it offered a affordable version at just the
right size i was not expecting to exceed tomorrow.
Eagle was useless for the UI and also didn't seem to have a good package
in the range i wanted without non-profit trash.
There were some others i considered, but hey, why bother getting to know
the faults of a new package when i already knew the peculiarities of
target and how to work around them. There's all i need, but not much more,
and fewer way to do things, not like orcad.
I really miss the colored ratsnest though.

(And YES, i do get paid for mentioning it, well, i get a update to a new
version cheaper. But i have mentioned it before so this post does not add
anything, so - i do not benefit in any way, other than the satisfied
customer stuff.. no, wait, make that the accepting reality customer stuff.)
