True. But I understand that repeated freeze-thaw cycles will do it in. PEX also resists the acid water we have around here. That water ate through a corrugated copper flex line on my water heater in six years and it eats through copper tubing pretty fast too. The PEX fittings are beefy (relatively speaking) and you don't need to use so many of them with the flexible PEX tubing.
