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!!!!
