Its not bad under magnification. I avoid it, as its
time consuming, but I've done a few boards with them.
Usually I cheat, and get my tech to build them... but
inevitably during test and debug, sooner or later I
need to replace it when he's not around.
A stereomicroscope makes doing so very easy. I have
done so with a magnifying head piece however. Lastly,
its a lot easier if you have solder mask... but with
care you can do so with a DIY board.
