And don't sneeze... :-)

Actually, I prefer soldering with the larger SMDs to through hole. 
Except for the electrolytic capacitors. I don't like them at all.

The biggest problem though with SMD is that so many of them don't have 
their value or identification on them. Even the ICs often have cryptic 
names on them. And non polarised caps... nothing. Best to put things in 
labelled bags and only keep one bag open at any one time.
