I prefer MacDraft 2.1 - It's only $250 or so, and handles layers, libraries,
scanner input, snap-to object & more.  

It's not as powerful as VersaCAD, AutoCAD, etc. but I don't seem to use most of
those advanced features, anyway (thought I would, but...).

Background:

I'm a Mechanical Engineer, with BS and MS in Design.  I don't design as often 
as I used to, but I still design regularly.

I've used VersaCAD (evaluated the first version for BCS when it came out).  I
thought it was great, but I just don't need all that horsepower.
