I disagree. For RF analog circuits, which is 90% of the stuff that I
do, I approach it as if I were building "ugly" style, where I know
that most of the board is going to be ground plane anyway. For the
supplies, a few leads (2 or 3) going directly to the connection points
in the circuit from the power jack, or in many cases, the 78L08 as
well, in my opinion is preferable to having a torturous route for the
RF traces.

Once I have everything routed and poured, I evaluate the board to see
if it looks like there might be potential issues with unwanted coupling.
