I made a number of boards this way. Routing the wires neatly was cool, but detrimental to circuit performance. It increased capacitive and inductive coupling between signals, reducing the maximum clock rate (for a digital circuit) or increasing noise (for an analog circuit). It was usually best to go straight from point to point.
