If you have TARGET, or if you have Protel, why would you even spend one microsecond on bEAGLE?

As I said before, bEAGLE has got to be the absolute worst schematic capture package ever created. It's slow, awkward, and its libraries are totally incomprehensible, often wrong, and badly organized. If you want to go to Protel, it's probably quicker, easier, and more sensible, not to mention that you can then print an adult-looking schematic, if you use Protel to generate the schematic.

My last experience with bEAGLE was about 5 years ago, and it was already so badly ruined it's unlikely they'll ever manage to fix it. The PCB router/editor can import netlists from other schematic packages, so there's really no excuse for using bEAGLE's capture package. The bEAGLE autorouter is slow and imprecise enough to make a job that takes an hour from start to finish using Allegro (I'm not advocating for Allegro, which, though overpriced by 100x, is pretty decent.) take two to three weeks just because of the manual editing that it forces you to do. The bEagle router/editor is OK for small two-layer boards, if those are acceptable to you. Most folks want multilayer boards these days, and bEagle makes a lot of work out of what would otherwise be pretty simple. Of course, the two-layer version of bEagle is "free." That explains why people use it. It ultimately gets people to buy the multilayer not-"free" version. Those who are fooled into buying it will get what they deserve.
