Saw this earlier; agreed.
Since I'm no longer a consumer, my favorite builders are those who I consider cool or good people. I particularly like keeping up with Wampler, Catalinbread, and Jack Deville for the aforementioned reasons (plus they are all doing really cool things with circuits and are DIY-friendly). I especially appreciate it when any company or brand shows honor or respect for their fellow men, women, or children like Wampler is doing. At the end of the day, we're all human.
