I have been using ODB for the last 4 years, I currently work with a guy that
still generates gerber, netlist, readme files etc. It has been a much better
way to go.

Maybe this will be helpful to some. I know a lot of you already send odb++
to fab instead of gerbers, but i just now started.
I am still on the 1st one, so i have yet to see if any problems arise,
but here are some advantages for those not aware:
- There is only one file, and many fewer clicks to generate it.
- Importing into ViewMate is faster. ViewMate is a free viewer.
- IPC netlist is included.
- Printing the drill file from ViewMate is much nicer (you see actual drill
size)
Some of these may be seen as just helping ViewMate, but that's what i use
here.
