Definitely not eagle
Why are you so definitive. I started to do my first PCB three months ago. I had turn around several software before without really making the plunge (proteus, kicad, circuit maker). Finally I settle on Eagle because it was native on the Mac, there was a lot of documentation and tutorial around, and many schematics and pcb drawing made available by some companies seems to be in Eagle.
Also I like the fact that all files are text files, easily editable. The impression is you can do everything with it, with its scripting capabilities (like TeX for scientific publishing for example).
But as it was said by many, Eagle is not intuitive. Which means more that it does not follows the usual consensus
among general GUI. So you have to learn, but if you sit down, and follow some of the largely available
video tutorials, it goes relatively fast.
I am now perfectly happy with Eagle for the small projects I have in mind,
and will stay with Eagle for a while, as I
believe that it is much better to properly know
a tool than to search always for the best one.
