How hard is Proteus compared to Eagle Pro.
Is it Proteus that became Altium?
 

If you want to master Proteus in full, it will take more effort I think.

Proteus includes a simulation engine which is not part of Eagle as far a I know.
I tried Eagle Pro and there were some things I didn't like in comparison to Altium.

One of my friends really like doing layouts with Proteus and hates Altium. Altium can do a lot more but takes time to learn.

Protel became Altium many moons ago. Tango became Protel before that.

Proteus is very easy to learn. There are youtube videos. I can post some links if you want. I use eagle and Proteus for PCB layout designing. Proteus also gives 3D view of the PCB.

See attached image. Proteus gives 3D view. I just started designing this PCB layout. Still have to do the component placement and draw the tracks.

I know that Proteus has a PCB layout module, but I didn't yet hear it mentioned as state-of-the-art layout tool, e.g. competing with Altium, Zuken, Cadence, Mentor or Pulsonix.
