If a teen hobbyist came to me and wanted to learn PCB design, I'd steer
them toward Eagle (free version.) If an Engineering intern wanted the
same thing I'd start them with Protel 99 SE SP6 (free, unlimited 30-day
trial). Anyone else has to decide for themselves.

EasyPC is about the same price as Eagle (no free version, though) and
is *much* easier to use:

It's been around for over 20 years, I was one of their earliest
customers.
