Yep, still the go to PCB software in the industry as far as I know, never used it myself but I know people that have.
If you don't have a couple thousand to burn on Altium though or even if you do you'd probably just settle for KiCad as it does most of what you need and its getting a lot better especially since CERN has been paying for development work to be done on it (yeah the particle accelerator guys).
And I quote "Altium Designer 14 pricing starts at $7,245 USD, including a one year subscription."
Another free but not open source PCB cad is DipTrace... I can't really compare it to kicad but I seems reasonable at first glance, I didn't even know where to start with Eagle though I haven't tried it again recently since I know a bit more about how PCB design works... no point as it doesn't have the features I want at the price point I want (free to under $100) Also note that KiCad 5.0 can now largely import Eagle projects its a new feature.
