Bear in mind that this is a personal opinion.
You find it easy.
I don't.

As a rule, it is easy, with no real "technique" involved, provided all the
preparation is done. If you are wire wooling, using the correct flux and the
correct solder, it is almost certainly the torch which is at fault. For
plumbing, don't use a wide nozzled torch designed for paint stripping. You
need a narrow ended torch that takes a big canister and has piezo ignition.
If you spent less than 20-25 pounds on it, then the torch is not big enough.
