That does not look good. What gives?

It's definitely not a dead product. In fact, it's pretty much become the
standard starting point for all PCB design. Now if you're a company with a
£10k budget then it's not what you're looking for.
The licencing of Eagle is pretty effective too. All it does is to hard code
your name and address into it's files. That's pretty effective in software
protection terms. There's no dongles, no key files, no floppys with flaky
sectors. Just your name.
On the whole, they've got it pretty much right. There's odd things we would
like, of course there are. But at least we're able to sit here and talk
about it. Many software companies won't allow that and censor problems. I
remember years ago a CRM product I was rolling out for a company. I tried
to do what we we're doing here (talking to others on usenet), and ended up
with a very angry senior executive on the phone.
Eagle is laid bare, for all to see. We can all contribute to it too.
