Seconded.  After chasing down phantom bugs in breadboarded designs, and 
also chasing down soldered perfboard issues because I missed a wire, if 
the circuit has any complexity anymore, I just design a board and spin 
it.  I've enough projects it's easy to run a batch, go onto another 
project while they manufacture and ship, and get back to it when it 
arrives.  I still use solderless breadboard for simple analog stuff 
(audio pre- amp on the bench now) or simple MCU stuff (a few IOs on an 
AVR, for example), but nothing more.  I have just wasted too much time.
