Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!  As a hobbyist, I build deadbug or
Manhattan style.  Some might think it's ugly but there are some true
artist Manhattan builders out there.  I rarely etch.  In fact, the only
thing I etch on a regular basis are copper pads 0.1" on center to solder
DIP packages to for Manhattan style projects.
