I remember the day I switched from RC07 to 1206. Also when I switched from 1206 to 0805, and from 0805 to 0603. Thankfully, I am now too old to ever need to switch to 0402, 0201, or (gasp!) 01005. 2

Just wait till you start seeing 008004!
We use 01005s all the time in our boards, and they are indeed a pain to rework, but that’s how we can jam so much functionality on such a small space. Dev boards we try and stick to 0402s so we can rework them easily.
JBC soldering equipment and a good microscope are a godsend.
I design with 0805 or bigger. No particular reason other than rework is hard enough without trying to solder dust specks.
