I mostly use Target3001:
http://server.ibfriedrich.com/wiki/ibfwikien/index.php?title=Main_Page
It's commercial, but there are six different editions starting as low as
59€, with digital+analog, schematics, PCB, autorouting, simulation, it's
multilingual (German/English/French), and there is even a free
evaluation version somewhat limited in PCB size and pins numbers, but
nevertheless worth trying. They are also very responsive.
I also tried DesignSparks, which is free, but a lot less powerfull.
Just a satisfied user, standard disclaimers apply ! :-)

I favor ExpressPCs free schematic generation and board layout....
But Now I have a whole new list to go looking for.
More time-nuts trouble ahead.

Good eve,
I must be the exception... I've tried Eagle, most recently about
three months back. I can't stand it. I find it, for my purposes, to be
about as intuitive as a Salvador Dali painting.
I've not yet tried DesignSpark, but it looks very promising.
Personally, I use an old version of OrCAD (9-dot-something, I
think).
Happy tweaking.

What do people use these days for schematic capture (and just possibly
PCB layout), for low-budget homebrew stuff?

It's been so long since I did
this, I
still own a T-square and a pile of contemporary relics like rules and
triangles.
I'll get out my pencil sharpener if I have to. But really, this must be
a
solved problem by now. For less than $300? I only need TTL, not
striplines or
any black magic like that.
I'm a Mac shop, but can of course run Windows if need be. And to make
matters
worse, I prefer ANSI logic symbology over shovels-and-spades (or, really,
over
plain rectangles where you're expected to know what the part number
means).
This comes from exposure to Control Data, who were big on it back in the
day. I
even used to be on the mailing list of the standards committee. I suppose
that
all sank without a trace? If it's still controversial, I apologize in
advance
for trolling.
