    Kicad worked for me...
    My first design... autorouter (web based) very effective.

    bottom line ... they all have a VERY STEEP learning curve.

    which ever one you choose, google for any associated guides/tutorials and take advantage of them.

    good luck

    Not all. Sprint Layout is inexpensive and has an extremely simple, intuitive interface. You can be doing complex layouts almost immediately. It's multilayer.

    However, there is no integrated schematic capture and its autorouter is very rudimentary.

    They have a demo version: http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/sprint-layout.html
