Yes, wire-wrapping is/was so great. Really good quality connections, no accidental connections due to solder ending up at the wrong places, easy to remove or change.

And no solder-iron that risks burning stuff. And no smoke either.

The only draw-back is that it seems to be so expensive and almost non-existant today.

Burning stuff isn't a problem when soldering. It sounds like you need a little equipment upgrade. Get a holder for your soldering iron, and a fume extractor (filtered fan).
