There are a bunch of choices, some free and some limited to working with
a certain PCB shop, but I like Eagle (http://www.cadsoftusa.com)
because, among other things, it's cross-platform running on Windows,
Mac, and Linux (I use the Linux version). There's a free version and a
couple of steps of paid versions which allow larger board sizes and more
layers.

What do people use these days for schematic capture (and just possibly
PCB layout), for low-budget homebrew stuff? It's been so long since I
did this, I still own a T-square and a pile of contemporary relics like
rules and triangles. I'll get out my pencil sharpener if I have to. But
really, this must be a solved problem by now. For less than $300? I only
need TTL, not striplines or any black magic like that.
I'm a Mac shop, but can of course run Windows if need be. And to make
matters worse, I prefer ANSI logic symbology over shovels-and-spades
(or, really, over plain rectangles where you're expected to know what
the part number means). This comes from exposure to Control Data, who
were big on it back in the day. I even used to be on the mailing list of
the standards committee. I suppose that all sank without a trace? If
it's still controversial, I apologize in advance for trolling.
