Mentor PADS Layout - 22 years 

Never ran across a design I couldn't do. 
30+ layers
Blind & buried vias
Matched Length (Shielded too)
Diff Pairs
Interactive Route Editing
Great library tools
RF
I can go on & on but you get the idea.

The only downside is that many EE engineers use OrCAD Capture with PADS and
they're not compatible. But you can translate OrCAD to PADS Logic. 

Altium beats PADS on the schematic integration and 3D Modeling; however I
have never had a customer request for true 3D modeling, just IDF export.
