Oxy acetylene welding..

Anyone here do it? I've never done it, always used a mig. Is it pretty easy to do? How strong are the welds?

I was researching body repair and came across some pages where some guys preferred to use oxy acetylene welding over mig when doing panels and sheet metal.

I'm curious how the more experienced welding guys here might feel about it. What are the limitations of oxy acetylene welding? Can it be used to weld big stuff?
