Very true, especially the "undo" part if you don't have the
needed slack in the wires. But, if done right, you just clip and
go! You shouldn't use the previously twisted parts of the wires
anyway, so, really, not a lot of difference to snip 'n' go.

Besides, most codes say NO as near as I can tell.

Can you provide a citation. The only limitation on the use of solder
that I can recall from years of using the US NEC is that you cannot make
grounding connections that are dependent on solder for the mechanical
connection. The practice that code provision was aimed at was the tack
soldering of bonding conductors to enclosures.
