I can see where Chuck is coming from, but agree with Guzzler. Circumstances are important and the ability to cope with the majority of them does need a few hours (or at least a few flights in different conditions). I certainly find three point better for short strips, but wheelers (one wheel sometimes) better for crosswinds.
Often not taught or skipped over are the little things that make a big difference. Aileron and elevator positions when taxiing in gusty conditions downwind/crosswind for instance, or taxiing down an incline in an aircraft without brakes might be another! It's not unheard of for a fledgling taildrgger pilots to cope well with a landing on the limits of windspeed, only to tip the areoplane on it's nose when turning downwind because they were told to keep the stick back when taxiing.
Taildraggers are no harder to fly than trikes, they just require a different mindset.
