They can make things tidy sometimes but they take up more room and are twice the work so I typically don't use them.

I use them for some of my builds. The place I buy my kits from have ones that connect to his host pcb's via a ribbon cable. So quick and neat and a more convenient way to mount the led and current limiting resistor. But if the kit is based on a vintage fuzz then I wire the stomp switch for the vintage old school vibe.

I love these things. Mammoth electronics has these 6 or 7 core ribbon cables you can get which makes it so easy to hook up if you've got a pcb set up for it.
