This seems really important to you. It isn’t to me.
I am not going to go back to buying DIP packages of chips. These little adapter boards costs pennies, are easy to solder, and let me use the exact chip that I’m going to use in the production boards on my breadboards. I’m going to keep doing that.
You’re free to use DIP chips if that’s what you want to do.
I’m trying to make it clear to people who might be intimidated by modern SMD chips that there are options that will let them use chips that they could otherwise not use, like the ATMEGA328PB or LGT8F328P which only come in TQFP of the ATTINY 1612 which only comes in SOIC-14, while still using their breadboards and Dupont wires.
There is no right option, only the options that’s right for me, and the option that’s right for you.
