OK
F4F I agree that in the ideal world we'd like the aircraft to respond instantly to our control inputs when due to gusts the machine's not travelling in the direction we want, but is it really that important until you're actually in the flare? Until then I tend to let the aircraft "ride the waves" a bit and not fight every upset. When the flare and hold off for touchdown is in progress any upset that requires very large control inputs to correct must make one very go-around minded, because the aircraft simply isn't under full control.
Good point too about the increasing problem of building and tree induced low level vortices when the wind is blowing from certain directions, this is something that should be included in Route Manual special briefings eg Funchal runway 23
