Yes, some people prefer it, but it usually takes more fine-tuning and patience because bone stock the car will just do doughnuts and it's difficult to hold a consistent slide. To combat this, guys often add weight (which hurts efficiency) and add a gyro (which helps stabilize the rotation).

I personally prefer the simplicity of 4WD chassis. They're great at grip racing, and easy to swap wheels/tires and go sliding. 1:10 scale electric 4WD touring car drifting is absolutely great fun. To me, 2WD drifting is an exercise in frustration. YMMV.
