Tom,
Yes, 99SE with SP6 is quite stable and reliable. That said, it has it's
own minor quirks and gotchas much the same as all PCB CAD software. I
constantly monitor the Altium AD/DXP forum, while it has a lot of nice, more
powerful, features they also each have their own bugs, problems, limitations
and faults. AD/DXP is definitely still a work in progress, very disappointing
after 6 years or more.
I my opinion AD/DXP has added too many fancy features at once and
Altium just doesn't have the resources to do all those features reliably,
completely without major bugs at one time. Even now they still have not
stabilized a lot of the basics like 3D import/export/modelling, GDI/shading,
memory leaks/general stability, ODB++, embedded panels, autorouter, length
matching/diff pair control, etc..
That said I am willing to switchover to the darkside any time my
employer sees fit to put out the expenditure, can't keep flogging an old nag
and expect to run with the other quarter horses.
Sincerely,
Brad Velander
Senior PCB Designer

I was told that Protel 99se was an excellent program, do users agree or are
they glad it's gone?
