Hmm... that would have killed my last project - a PLCC-44 89C52 (that
we later swapped out for an ATmega8515 with no board changes required)
and 5 ICs total ('541, 2x ULN2003, '14, MCU).
Went fine with Eagle except for the holes for the power jack and my
goof on the Port D bus. Autorouting worked for 75% of the project,
and manual routing is not tricky.
The first test program ever loaded into the board ran the first time
(blink LEDs on two port bits). I'd call that a success.

I do believe in Diptrace....
I have the older version of diptrace. I am not so happy with it.
No PLCC sockets of any kind. No support for TUBES of any kind.
All the new libraries have more surface mount junk. Manual routing
is a pain. Auto routing does work no more than 3 chips for a two
layer board.
