[sdiy] PCB Design Software?

[rob]

I have been using Eagle CAD for over 5 years, starting with really simple
circuits and now progressing to high density, ground planes and SMD. The
files are accepted by PCB manufacturers and its easy to use and understand.
New components are quick to design, and auto routing is fine once you get
used to it. You can also generate Gerbers and drill files if you need to,
and the software gets regular upgrades. Its not cutting edge but I can
design and layout a new PCB in 2 hours.

Hi all,

What PCB design software do you recommend? I am
looking to try my hand at this with some simple
designs. Who knows, maybe I'll end up selling some
simple pcbs. I guess at some point with DIY it becomes
the next "bridge to cross" when wanting to design a
PCB. Thanks!
