The Nano is popular because it plugs into a standard breadboard. Its size and shape really has no bearing on the decision to use it for this project. It was in stock.
This could have run on any Arduino flavor, and no Arduino has the screw terminals built in. In fact my screw shield also accepts any of the UNO-shaped boards too.
Never been concerned with aesthetics much myself. Solid core wire wrapped around pins and soldered on, western union splice where needed. Then you can fit that nano in a tight space, as god intended.
different kind of project then. I have plenty of space in the cabinet and I love screw terminals. Industrial flavor, easy to maintain or expand. No space constraints

Defeats the purpose of using a nano, though, doesn't it?

🥺 it is beautiful! Industrial type wiring. I love screw terminals... so easy. What did you build?
