I've used Target for several years some time ago. It's fine for
reasonably simple stuff, comparable to Eagle in functionality but with
a much more intuitive user interface.
I would definitely evaluate DesignSpark and Target3001, you'll see why
you don't really want to use Eagle.
And please don't give much credit to existing libraries. They most
likely need to be changed to suit your needs, and creating new parts
should be very quick anyway or the software is crap. I don't even
check if a component is in the stock libraries, not worth the effort.

I am not associated with them in any way.
