Hi,

A "super-tool" for drawing schematics doesn't exists. You can use for instance MS Visio and add your own missing symbol. Or you can Latex with packages for electronic symbols (e.g. https://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/circuitikz/) or and own cmdline tool like **broken link removed**.

I prefer MS Visio, it's faster for me!

Personally, I use InkScape instead of Visio because it's free. It doesn't have any good symbols, so I had to make my own. It's okay though—once you've gotten a hang of how to use the software, it's easy to make your own. And if you ever need a new symbol, you can make one that matches your exact style.

I had a professor in college who wrote several textbooks. He drew all his schematics in Paint. PAINT!!! How painful! But at least his schematics looked good!

This free online tool from Digi-Key make the schematics look like circuits published in electronics magazines:
