When you introduce modern IC, you have to introduce modern way of engineering too. Other option - use old parts or 3rd party DIP conversion adapters/modules. --- End quote --- In general, modern parts are so much better and so much easier to use. With external component count going down and integration level going up, there is often much less soldering to do with modern parts. So the "consequence" is often positive despite the initial "this must be hard" attitude. The sweet spot is finding what you need in relatively "easy" SMD packages like SOIC, SOT-23 etc. QFN, BGA, CSP suck with no-PCB prototyping but still, if a really good and otherwise easy-to-use part is available only in such packages, I wouldn't be afraid of using them, just bite the bullet. It's really strange to see this "SMD is not for hobbyists" discussion in 2021! This was a common theme back some 10-20 years ago, and all but gone for the last 5 years or so. |

I am sorry to say the SOIC parts are almost obsolete already. |

I always imagine what kind of super chip a 40-pin 8-bitter could be in all that space compared to the smallest part available that is the same. |

Through-hole is dying out it was King for experimenting and learning electronics. --- End quote --- They need to invent a magnetic-breadboard somehow. I do agree with you, all those "breadboard-less people" have a windows 10 spyware computer with the latest simulators that i dont trust somehow. |

The "breadboardless-people", Windows 10 or the latest simulators? |
