Well I use CorelDraw, might have mentioned that before 
. Use my own symbols and love the package. Easy to do rotary bits like switches. Can use layers for symbols and text and lots of other handy bits.
One tip, if your package has it is, is to draw resistors as rectangles with a white fill. Same with capacitors, draw two plates (lock them if you like) and then put a white (no outline) rectangle between them. Now draw the circuit lines in black or whatever, as usual, and place the component over the lines with them set in order to be on top. The advantage is that you can slide the components up and down or along the lines as spacing changes are needed.
