I gave up on "EasyEDA" - what a mess of a program.
I was in a somewhat similiar situation – I've done electronics courses at Uni, played a bit with breadboards, but never designed my own circuits –, when I discovered EasyEDA four years ago. I hope you tried it in your browser, as an online tool, instead of as a standalone application: I've found the latter to be not worth the effort at all.
I found the interface intuitive, as I rarely needed to look stuff up in their guides, and have done
a few schematics and boards with it. I'm kinda thinking of updating the "Cheap USB GamePad using CH551G" to CH554G, since JLCPCB has the latter in stock; might make for a funky unique gift to my nieces and nephews.
They're all a mess of a program, even the high priced professional stuff. It's all crap, you just have to persevere and learn to work around the quirks.
Applies to all software, really.
For me, it helps a lot to try and approach the program as a puzzle:
How did the original developers use this tool? How did they intend it to be used?It may not be the optimal way, but it kinda-sorta explains why the quirks exist, and definitely helps anticipate the quirkiness, and overcome them.
You know, like when you occasionally hear a dog barking, knowing the dog by name and occasionally petting them, somehow tends to make the noise less annoying.
