I thought that MSR had also suggested the warm (not hot) water bath trick too, did a bit of digging and found it.

Like Staehpj1 above, I usually use liquid fuel stoves if I am not flying and not backpacking.

Backpacking, I prefer the lighter weight canister stoves.

And when flying it is a major hassle to clean your liquid stove and fuel tank to the point where TSA won't confiscate it. I did that once, decided not to do it again, only am using Butane mix canisters in the future when I fly.

Last time I used my Svea, it was in 2014, backpacking into Grand Canyon. I do not recall why I brought the Svea instead of canister stove, but I had some reason to prefer liquid fuel for that trip.
