I thought the Embryo into LBA was pretty good. Certainly not in the same category as the Swiss!
As for the 747, our flying manual states; "The 'Crab' technique is used for crosswind landings." For pretty obvious reasons!
The Boeing autopilot uses the 'wing down' technique in the latter stages for reasons that don't necessarily translate into manual flying.
Horses for courses I guess. Down to personal preference (to an extent!)
Though I'm not at all convinced 'wing down' is the way to go on a 5.5 degree approach into the City.
