Lately I've been annoyed and frustrated with EAGLE. No big problems,
just lots of seemingly minor things - like lots of paper cuts. I
download Pulsonix's demo many months ago and was impressed that it
imported one of my EAGLE projects without too much input from me. And
it's auto router blew me away. Although I did had a hard time
figuring out how to manual route in Pulsonix. After using EAGLE's
"backwards" interface all these years, I guess a 'normal' interface is
difficult for me to use ;)
I don't have a clue how much Pulsonix is, but I suspect it's more than
the full version of EAGLE ($1,500). Pulsonix: "Contact sales" is a
clue. I have used EAGLE to design some boards for other people. But
using EAGLE is time consuming, and thus I'm hoping to find a more time
efficient PCB cad system. Any suggestions? And if I could get enough
clients to pay for a PCB cad system that would be great, too ;)

They don't put them on their web site because of currency
fluctuations. The US distributor, Advanced Circuits, used to have
prices in $, but they seem to have disappeared. It starts at about
$2,000, IIRC.
I use Pulsonix, and formed this support group:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PulsonixUG/
Have a look at Easy-PC:
http://www.numberone.com
It's from the same parent company as Pulsonix, and shares many of the
same features. It's aimed more at the hobbyist and educational market.
