I agree entirely! I've taught both, flown both. Interesting but pointless discussion - in my humble opinion.

Wing down. Works very well in high wing types. Also, bit off thread but it's what the autopilot does on the 744 on an autoland in a crosswind.

Crabbing works well but I used to tell my students it's like telling a joke. It's all about........timing.

Edited to add. The Jumbo uses BOTH. fancy that!
