Homebrew PCBs

Personally, I think it's the best choice in the "low end" market. I've
used it for years.
It's user friendly enough that I also make front panels and many types
of other drawings with it. (It has front panel features like placement
of angular scales and such).

It's easily equal to Eagle, but one should not forget it is not a
professional tool like Altium, Pulsonix, Mentor, .... which play in a
different ballpark. But unless you make really complex designs with
several engineers you are well served with Target.

If you want to buy a small license mind that they have regular
discount sales of 20 or 25% off, about 4 times a year (I expect the
next will be around Easter).
