In general commercial stuff crafstmans ship is dead, but you can say that
about any commercial industry,

When I worked at a defence contractor's our technicians and CRAFTSmen were
brilliant. Wiring looms as thick as two fingers where every wire stayed
in place as it meandered about the box. The componemst themselves were 
boring but they were put together well.

My favorative method of prototying/on off designs is 'DEAD BUGGING' where
ics are turned upside down and everything occurs above a ground plane.
Its very rare that you need wire coz the leads of your capacitors and
resisitors (what you dont use those? must be a digital guy) are usually
long enough. Before anyone flames me for using this method it does work
and is a recommended method for mixing high speed ananlog and digits.

Oh yeah, I can loom up with the right knots and i am 22!!!!
