Still, it's the main method currently, either that or Flow if you have a more detailed pattern that you want to map on to a curved surface.

You can also use the Transform > Orient command to help with positioning a planar profile onto a surface so that a center point of it aligns to the surface normal.

See here for some examples of the Orient command:

If the surface is very curved then mostly you'll probably want to use Flow instead.
