It's strictly better in a functional sense, but isn't done commonly anymore (that I've seen) because it takes longer. Soldering the tips is a professional-level way of doing it as well. For a few years now I've been using the Park needlenose pliers that have a very effective crimper built in and are also good enough quality on their cutter to trim cables, so it's the fewest hand motions and slickest way of doing it that I know of.
As mentioned in comments, wire strippers also have a crimping part that can work.
keep a junky one around just for the purpose. To do the actual crimping, for many years I would just use light pressure on a blunt or low-quality cutter on a needlenose plier, i.e. I believe they were borrowed wholesale from motorcycle applications. In the days of "oversize" mountain bike brake cables, there were cable tips just for those. When you see them for sale not specified shift or brake, it's usually kind of an in-betweener size, but I've also gotten bottles like that which were kind of too big to look good on shift. Some mechanics favor using the plain shift ones for everything, which is fine - they slide on kind of tight on brake cables, but (subjectively) look neat. Brake ones don't usually look very neat on shift cables. In practice either of those two sizes can go on either cable type. They come in two major sizes, one for 1.1 and 1.2mm shift cables and one for 1.6mm brake cable.
