I've designed many boards (>10) over the past few years using PCB and
find it quite pleasant to use. My last couple of designs have been very
high density 4-layer boards and from what I can remember I don't think
I've ever encountered the polygon bug. Most of my designs are for
Student Robotics[1][2] so are there for the world to see (please excuse
my early work).

I almost always prototype the boards through PCB Train[3] and they're
very accepting of file names and I've only ever had one small issue with
gerbers/NC files produced by PCB*.

Rich

* PCB uses a single aperture counter across all files produced. For one
particular design this resulted in the NC drill file having three digit
aperture numbers. It turns out their CAM software didn't like this, so
they manually edited the file to make them two digits. In the process
they mixed up all of the drill sizes. They admitted it was their mistake
straight away and I received correct boards 2 days later.
