What is your go-to PCB layout/designer? Why?

I have been a happy user of (Windows Only, sorry) ABACOM.DE products SPRINT LAYOUT and SPLAN. Sprint Layout is a super easy, very customizable PCB program. I have had no issues using this with services like OSHPARK but it has been primarily for PCB creation at home.

SPLAN is also an excellent drawing tool for schematics.

The strong points of both of these are that they are specifically NOT EDA packages. They are NOT integrated. They are basically tools with the ease of use of MSPAINT.

I've been using these products since 2003.

YES, I have used EAGLE, and KICAD and and even many you likely have never heard of. I still reach for these because... sometimes... I just want to get things done and not wrestle with the software.
