I review some of the present achievements and future challenges of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) line-formation calculations for solar-type stars. It is concluded that the full potential of NLTE still remains to be tapped, in particular in view of the current transition from one-dimensional (1D) hydrostatic to 3D hydrodynamic model atmospheres.
