The problem I find with CAD is I don't use it often enough to keep my drawing speed up and I find that unless I use it to draw anything once every few months the time lost getting back into it can be a bit frustrating
This!

I have some old and once-expensive PCB CAD software I use on occasion. It takes me a good couple of hours to get back in to the swing of things and remember all the oddities from part creation, through schematic capture, to design rules, to actually creating the PCB layout, and finally generating usable drill/Gerber plots to have it made. And these days it is for one-off or small hand assembly so I can skip the long-forgotten step to create the assembly (component X/Y/rotation) files!

But if you use stuff regularly it is less of a problem.
