Agreed. I love using a breadboard to figure out my designs, even if half the components on it are SMD chips soldered to breakout boards. But once the design is figured out, I just go ahead and make the real PCB. Its a lot sturdier, and today is quite affordable and accessible to anyone able to figure out EDA software.
