Whatever happened to wire wrapping? That used to be a viable alternative.

It only works for thru-hole parts and the special wire-wrap sockets you needed to do it properly got expensive (and are no longer in production).

I have used wire wrapping, and it's a good alternative to through-hole, but SMD is just miles better
