Easy to use. Free to prototype and learn. Max components libraries are available. Famous vendors provide compatible relevant eagle libraries of their components.
The subscription pricing model is fine for games, terrible for professional software. Would rather buy a new version periodically as necessary. The newer versions of Eagle are missing some of the manual route wire bend options, which make manual routing...
VEry easy to launch a prototype or a small pilot run
Some of the options are keyboard control i. e. to open properties of a components. It should be mouse control. Some time during schematic designing component pins don't connect with trace. I have reinstalled it 2,3 times but same issue.
