bubbagates hit it right on the head. Pilots should learn how to use the rudder to properly land in a crosswind. Too many pilots weren't taught properly, or just don't want to spend the time to learn correctly, and it's a habit that just gets worse over the years. They will try to fly into the crosswind and try to intersect the end of the runway to land. While you can do this, you don't have any room to correct in. If you learn to slipstream and crab your plane into the wind then you don't have to "guess" and hope you hit the runway, you'll be able to fly your plane to any point for the landing. With practice you can land in a crosswind and touchdown at any spot on the runway you choose.

It's a skill that will serve you well if you take the time to learn it.
