I also use eagle for my pcb needs and its simply great! The more you use it the better it gets, I would not describe the learning curve as steep as its fairly fast learning easier operations. I really like the ability to customize colors and keybindings as that is the thing I tend to get annoyed about in other pcb cad programs. The only minus I can think about is the autorouter which may not be the best but it kind of fun routing by your self also(though time consuming).
I recommend buying pcb:s from batchpcb.com, this is my first own designed pcb(not audio related) ordered from batchpcb and the pcb was just perfect:
