I don't think I've used through-hole components since the 1980's. Surface mount since.

I remember using a finger/object to hold DIP sockets in place while I tack-soldered a pin or two. Sometimes I burnt a finger tip doing this.

Nowadays I can barely see SMD components Sad I think I have some (very old) DIP sockets somewhere. I used "turned pin" ones. Never have seen "kinked pin" ones.
