Easy to use. Free to prototype and learn. Max components libraries are available. Famous vendors provide compatible relevant eagle libraries of their components.

Default configuration is not very good, but can be improved with some effort. Default libraries are mostly useless. The package wizard is okay, but not every package type is available. 3d packages are only available through the web-based tool. Poor graphics...

For SOLIDWORKS Electrical Schematics I liked that one could easily tell how a schematic was mocked up and how easy it is to read when they come through.
