Because Kicad and Geda were still in early development when I needed
schematic capture and PCB layout, I ended up learning Eagle, and have
found it very good. It's a commercial offering, but free for private
use, limited to 80 x 100 mm double sided in that version. I don't know
the current price of a full version.
As learning one GUI package was hard enough, I figure I'll just pay up
if I should ever make a board to sell.
It is a pain that the Eagle community is a newsgroup, rather than a
mailing list. There are innumerable libraries of component macros on
their website.
I've never seen Librecad.
