Yeah, I've heard people whine about plugin breadboards a lot here too, but I
use them routinely with no problem, including 20MHz PIC crystals.  You have
to know what you're doing and understand the limitations of course, but
that's no different than with any other method.

My ReadyBoard series (http://www.embedinc.com/products) includes a
breadboard area deliberately like the plugin breadboards because I think its
a useful layout for circuits unknown at the time the board is made.  The
ReadyBoards do have a ground plane and the power lines are decoupled at both
ends so you can get away with just a little more sloppiness, but the advice
of making sure you know what you're doing is still sound.
