Default plastic plumbing vs copper - a moan.

Aarrgh - need a break - I'm plumbing a new kitchen.

Lots of people say how good the plastic pipe is, and it is used on a
lot of newbuild, so I thought I'd try it.
But I hate it. It curls up on itself, you can't put a bend in it,
the joints are huge, and because it is flexable I find I measure it
inaccurately.
So I'm going to bin it and buy some 15mm copper.

What do other people think?

Horses for courses.

Plastic is great for getting into awkward places - threading through joists
etc. - but copper is much better anywhere where it shows. You also need a
length of rigid pipe on kitchen taps installed in SS sinks, to give a bit of
rigidity to the taps.
