"Beige Bag" Spice is designed to interchange schematics with Eagle. I recently evaluated it against LTspice and decided to use LTspice on the basis that it is more important to get the right Spice tool than have schematic exchange capability. Whatever I am going to simulate, I can usually draw the schematic in 5 minutes anyway. LTspice is very retro, being just an engine with very little GUI. Anything beyond the simplest stuff is done by "playing SPICE cards", which I used to do years ago, so I was already familiar with that paradigm. It was actually very refreshing, because I again felt like I was in control, not trying to figure out what the program was going to do. It's kind of like driving a car with a stick shift vs automatic.
