However, I've found gEDA more than adequate for my purposes; it does have some quirks (things like polygon fills in the PCB tool can sometimes be flaky), but overall it's a very good set of tools IMO. The symbol management/library also seems a bit hit and miss, but it's easy enough to find what you want on the 'net or create your own. It is a GNU/Linux program, but I don't know whether that's a problem for you. They are supposedly porting to other systems, but I don't know if it's been done or when it will be.
