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,


What joints?
If you use plastic you don't need many joints.
On a new build you would put in a manifold and run a pipe to each outlet
with no joints at all.

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?
