"I've seen some that can flare 'OK' without looking to the end of the runway, but I tell you what, they're all hopeless in a crosswind".

Seriously, why make such stupid comments?!

Somehow people have managed to land very successfully and smoothly for decades (yours included) in all manner of crosswinds and different aircraft types.

Making a statement as definitive as that above is foolish.

It's not that hard.

Go put some thought in how to land a manned vehicle on mars or something because this little mystery of aviation was adequately solved by Wilbur and Orville some time ago.
