I have used Eagle from a very early version (3.xx?). It is powerful, and there are lots of additions, such as 3D rendering and ULP's for special and/or repetitive tasks. The newer versions beginning with 6.0 are more Windows-like and intuitive for some people, particularly for the copy and paste routine.
Since I learned with the older "cut"and paste method (copy was for duplicating components on a single schematic) and had become accustomed to its advantages, I keep my current versions working like that. I consider being able to do that another advantage. A small, but fun feature of the newest versions is the ability to make tear-drop shaped pads.
Frankly, I don't understand why there are all the complaints about Eagle. It is free. You are not locked into any particular resources, and you can import 2D drawings into it. Intuitive is entirely dependent on your reference point.
