I have and have used CC3, Fractal Mapper, and Hexographer - depending on what I need.
I don't know about the recent CC3 update, so I'm not sure what the learning curve is now, but in the past it wasn't minor. On the other hand, it is capable of making some incredible maps.
Fractal Maps is a pretty easy program to use - it's my choice for a quick battlemap or whatnot.
Hexographer is a mapping program that I primarily use for my overland/world map - as the name suggests, it marks everything by way of hexes. Simple to use, it's really easy to make what you want.
