Well.. Going around is still an exceptional maneuver in normal operations.
Even with gusty winds or crosswind I think i never went around without an exterior reason (i've had two runway incursions..)

Of course it's different for short runways.
I usually fly on long runways (2km+) so if I mess up the flare i can always just add a bit more power and make a longer landing safely.
If i fly on a short runway then I'll have a different behavior : low-energy approach and careful flare without trying to kiss.

Actually the flare is much more difficult than the approach itself, especially because you have less time to react should a problem arise.
