There is nothing more satisfying than a nicely executed one wheel touchdown in a strong crosswind. Then again, the takeoff is harder to get the exact amount of wing down to counter the crosswind as wheel friction can be a factor prior to liftoff. To rotate perfectly up on one wheel, then to lift off and set the right crab for departure all in one fluid moment is fun too. I am all for crabbing on departure.
