In fact they're a whole lot easier, at least for the soldering!
And if you use turned pin IC sockets, and place them carefully & solder
them in in the right order you can also top solder them if you are
making the board at home, where you won't have plated through holes.
Plus generally a double sided board has less holes to drill :)
BTW I was given a bare unpopulated Ace board for Christmas, I have taken
some scans of it but at 1200dpi they are *HUGE*
Cheers.

Single sided board (does not matter how much jumpers I'll have
to put
in this beast)
Double sided PCBs are not much harder, surely?
