I'm tearing my hair out trying to get to grips with Eagle. I'm not sure if
it's me, but I find almost everything about it counter-intuitive.
I plan to make a couple of boards each year, for my own use. I'd happily pay
a reasonable sum for a more intuitive package, but I like the fact that
Eagle files are widely used.
Is it worth persevering, or is there something out there that is reasonably
priced, and will read Eagle files?

Neither make sense to me.
Let it rest for a while take it easy, try things, and you might get it.
I have attempted to work through the tutorial, although the discrepancies
and poor choice of conventions make this more difficult than it should be.
Yes different programs are different "cultures" to learn
I should point out that I have taught computer studies at university level.
I failed my math course but i understand Eagle and a few other things...
