I still find learning in a tail dragger made all these fancy Boeing planes quite easy to land in 30 knot gusty crosswinds. The Beech 18 and Boeing 767 both land quite well using the same technique.
I landed a DC-3 in a 30kt crosswind one day, which was not planned trust me, and had more of a problem taxing in than I did landing.
