It's a lot easier than lining up orbital alignments though so I always use it except for the few times I accidentally launch into an aligned orbit. Though my approach (to get to Minmus orbit then burn full retrograde so that I fly backwards until I run into Minmus) is very inefficient. The most efficient transfers to get to Minmus only require marginally more fuel than getting to the Mun. I find that a TWR of 1.3 is sufficient for most landings though it does depend on how much fuel you have.
if you fly over a mountain, all of a sudden you should have started your burn a few kilometers higher than if you are landing on a lowlands. Always start your burn a bit early though because as the terrain changes under you, you may get a nasty surprise. That's your most efficient landing profile for a planet/moon without atmosphere.

It has a neat feature called the 'suicide burn' which tells you when you need to begin throttling at 100% to reach 0 altitude at 0 velocity.
