Very old version of EE Designer II (very fast, absolutely stable, DOS/Win9x)
Current version of Cadint PCB <www.cadint.com> <www.cadint.se> (harder to 
use, extremely powerful, absolutely stable, Win9x/2K/NT/XP.  I use Cadint 
to post-process the layouts I generate in EEDII - this includes any ground 
planes or multi-layer stuff as well as Gerber generation.

I *still* use EEDII for most of my simple layouts 'cuz its just so much 
quicker for me (15 plus years using it).  However, I now use Cadint for my 
complicated layouts.

About 30% of my layouts are single-sided (*much* more difficult than 
double-sided).  Component placement is *everything*.
