Present day: I can fabricate a wire-wrap version from my PCB footprints, much faster than I can route the PCB! With wire-wrap, you can route multiple traces between the same pins, or I like to neatly bundle a whole bus' worth. I'm far more pleased with the results of my wire-wrap, than the quality of my SMT soldering once I get a PCB made. I had a tutor for wire-wrap in the 1980s. But I'm self-taught in PCB routing, and I start it over at least 3 times.
