Totally agree.
If your goal is to just get the engine out (i.e. you don't want/need the trans out), it is much, much faster and easier to leave the trans in. Just being able to leave the CVs alone saves a lot of time and mess.
I agree that the myth that pulling both is faster or easier is perpetuated by those who have never tried doing just the engine.
No professional shop in the world would ever do all that extra work to pull out the transmission (for example, if they were doing a clutch job). Because it's just needless extra work, nothing else.
