Think I must have tried most PCB CAD packages, some more difficult than others to use. Eventually settled on
Diptrace (Free version) does everything I want it to and more. If the device I want is not in it's library, find the data sheet and build it in
Diptrace and it usually doesn't take that long.
Always use autoroute and maybe do a little optimisation sometime. My attitude is, if it's there use it.

One thing I have recently found out is if I produce a PCB design that has my devices in it, you can copy the design file to someone else
and it does transfer all my devices with it.

Still life in this old dog at 72.
