Not much of a surprise since there is practically no alternative in  
the pricing and licensing scheme. Not to mention that there is  
practically no alternative in *any* pricing and licensing scheme  
unless one wants to run Microsoft(c) Windows(tm)...

But even if I agree that EAGLE has its quirks, it eventually does a  
very good job once you learn it and its moods ;-)

P.S. I also know a couple of professionals who use it since the very  
early DOS versions and they designed for living that big'n ugly  
analogue TV sets' boards using it.
