True. I did some DIY plumbing myself too, and PTFE tapes are mostly used for outside taps. But for joining the copper pipes, they do soldering with blow torch. Professional plumbers seem swearing by the soldering and using copper pipes for quality of the works even today.
If you used plastic pipes and PTFE tapes, then you are amateurs, they say.
