Default Solder copper pipes under kitchen sink?

Is it common to solder copper pipes under a kitchen sink, or is it almost
universal to use compression connections there? If you found some already
soldered there, and wanted to put new connections in, would you use a torch
to remove the old ones, then use compression connections for the new ones?
Or what?

Especially if pipes come out of a concrete slab foundation, and only stick
up 2 or 3 inches, so there is not much excess pipe length to cut and start
over.
