Best software for making electronic schematics

Title says it all. I have tried Eagle but I can't use it very well. Any other suggestions for ones that work on Linux? I just want one that I can make a circuit, and test it. I don't care about PCB stuff. Just a program that allows me to build and test. If those requirements force me to have two programs, I'm okay with that. The problems that I have had with some programs is that I have limited board space, its hard to use, or I can't test a design.

My favorite would be KTechlab for Linux. An IDE for microcontrollers and electronics, it supports circuit simulation, program development for microcontrollers and simulating the programmed microcontroller together with its application circuit. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ktechlab/ 


You could also try EAGLE with LTspice simulator, Oregano, KiCAD, KLogic, gEDA Scematics Editor, KSimus Circuit Simulator...

I would have loved to try that out but I need a file specific to KDE for installation apparently. I am pretty sure that I use Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon. Is there a way for me to get the KDE files on to my distro or should I look at other programs. 

Linux Mint is a distribution based on Ubuntu, so you could try this:

sudo apt-get install git kdelibs5-dev kdevplatform-dev qt4-dev-tools cmake libglib2.0-dev
mkdir git-ktechlab && cd git-ktechlab
git clone git://github.com/ktechlab/ktechlab.git
cd ktechlab
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/
make
sudo make install
kbuildsycoca4 &> /dev/null
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

Alternately, you coluld try setting up a virtual machine that runs KDE Linux distro.

I'm really into Eagle, so i'm going to say stick with it ,and youtube some tutorials.....its a amazing bit of software. 

If you working on some real simple stuff, there is a cool testing app called EveryCircuit

I use SPICE for simulations, and when it works Eagle to make a PCB blueprint.

But for small stuff, EveryCircuit on Android mostly these days or even CircuitLab. There is so much choice, but in the end, if you're going to submit it for PCB fabrication, it has to be in Eagle.
