Default Anybody else give up on FMQ?

I've done FMQ on my domestic machine for years and have always been happy with a simple meander. However, it's still hard to maneuver the quilt even for a meander, and I'm just tired of the struggle. So, except possibly for baby quilts, I've said "uncle" regarding FMQ and now just do either straight line quilting or wavy lines with a walking foot. It looks nice and is so much easier, even on large quilts. I get done faster, with fewer skipped stitches, which is important to me because I try to build durability into my quilts. Have any of you set aside FMQ for walking foot quilting?
