What I like are schematics that I can "read". Despite being visually 
compromised I've always been able to "acquire" visual information more rapidly 
than most people with 20/20 eyesight. In High School I could read 1000 words 
per minute. These days not so much.

Mike's schematics are GREAT and his use of color is a rare thing. They're 
rather busy due to the use of so many discrete components so this really helps. 
I use color all the time for outlines, spreadsheets and databases. It helps me 
immensely.

The worst thing about Eagle is the schematic line art. Too small with too much 
white space around everything. European schematics that use rectangles instead 
of the resistor symbol are a problem for me. My visual system can just deal 
with it as long as the values are in the boxes. I've schematics that have them 
outside the box and that simply doesn't work for me.

The service manual for the RadioShack MG-1 analog synthesizer is a work of art 
(the whole manual, not just the schematics and block diagrams). It's work 
looking at even if you don't know what I'm talking about. A model for us all.
