The tut I posted link to says exactly:

"[...] and then you are trapped. You won’t want to learn a new package and you won’t want to remake all your custom parts, so you will pay perhaps even 750 dollars to get what you need, it isn’t a good deal. What is more Eagle isn’t even a great CAD tool, the free version is restricted in many ways, as is the cheap light version."

I think the "750" is an understatement ;-) The sooner we break free from the said trap the better.
