Am I the only one that likes wobbling the steering wheel under full throttle to get the wheels spinning up for some planned understeer? 

Yes. I think you are.

That video is not really fair, TC one was working on TC, the other rado was full throttle, that would spin in the dry just as much.

I'm sure that a good clutch control and decent tyres will be just as good as a TC system.

Nope....drive a proper TC system and you'll understand...TC systems allow a certain degree of slip of the tyre to get maximum traction...you simply cannot do it yourself fast enough.
A decent TC ststem will prevent bogging down, prevent spinning up, and send the maximum usable torque to the tyres, all the time.

Clutch control and tyres don't solve the issues.

True. My car spins up very easy and is no match for the factory EDL but it's how you drive that controls spin. I'm thinking of investing in an LSD but it's not essential at the moment.

An LSD won't stop wheelspin in a straight line, or corner...but it will givea slight traction advantage off the line (not as much as people think) and it will massively change the handling of the car on corners.

most cars are capable of spinning both front wheels with an LSD if the driver is a clot.
Having one doesn't solve this.

You fit an LSD for cornering...not traffic light GPs.

That's the EDL. Which only works up to 25mph. It sounds like the gearbox is broken when it kicks in. If you can't get the wheels to spin, there must be something wrong.

Oh god what though? Ive already changed both the front ABS sensors, what else might be contributing to it?

Are you sure it's EDL related and not a running/ power problem? Abs controllers can fail too though. Have you scanned with vag com?

A-Class Mercs have the same. Horrible. Slows the car down off the line and majes the car worse in snow.

Maybe if you have two step throttle control.
Ordinarliy, it just works...and does not too bad a job.

Any powerful car with wide tyres on is crap in snow...fit snow tyres and the EDL does't affect it.

A class 1.4, FWD, small wheels. 

Get's to a point where it kicks in and slows the car down a bit. Mind you I suppose it's not a racing car.
