They are fine if you have the correct professional grade crimp tool but that's an investment few will make unless they do a lot of work on cars. I prefer to make a good solder joint on clean components, then supplement this with heat shrink sleeving and loom support to remove any vibration stress from the joint.
I too am not keen on crimp connectors, preferring to solder and use heat-shrink tubing. One problem is the solder running an inch or more up the wire, leading to a likelihood of fracture at the end of the rigid soldered section. Has anyone tried with 'tinned' wire?
