I like the principle of breadboard, but not the practice - too many component and jumper lead pins with highly variable shape and thickness all going into the same size / shaped holes in the breadboard is a recipe for unreliability.

The problems that I (and Colin) recently encountered were mainly to do with the jumper leads we used initially being a very poor / slack fit in the receptacles they were plugged into. I did subsequently find that the 'Dupont' type with their square pins and square connector bodies were a lot better.
