I second that emotion.
I've been doing crimping and soldering for over 30 years. Hand soldering,
wave soldering, IR soldering, vapor phase soldering . .. manual crimping,
air pressure crimping, hydraulic crimping . . . military and commercial.
Crimping is easy to learn and use. But, you need the right tooling. Each
connector type has its own die for ensuring proper crimps.
Proficient soldering requires great skill and experience, but its more
versatile . .. you dont need special tooling.
As pointed out, there are applications where one is preferred to the other .
.. vibration, stress, wicking problems, corrosion, mass production vs small
scale production, etc etc etc.
