I was surprised that they didn't drop it when the eZ80 came out. That's 
still in production but it's SMC only.

The 40 DIP form factor lives on. The Pico, Arduino Sense BLE, and others 
preserve the layout except it's now a circuit board with other components 
on board. Solder on headers and it plugs into a solderless breadboard.

If I really want to go old school I still have wirewrap sockets rather 
than using Dupont wires.
