Wing Chun is incredibly technical and it’s a southern Chinese soft-style art designed purely for close quarter self-defence. It implements trapping as the overall approach to combat with emphasis on the eyes, throat, neck, solar plexus, ears etc. You defend as you attack but you must attack your opponent’s centre line whilst protecting your own. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. It also preachers the concept of economy of motion. Redirecting your opponent’s energy once absorbed. If mastered wing Chun is highly useful and effective in close quarter combat scenarios. One can combine it with other styles and where it may have limitations, one can retain the core principles (footwork, centre-line, Chi-Sao) and neglect the techniques in favour of different techniques from other styles. For instance if a wing Chun practioner adopts a Thai boxing mentality in his approach to fighting then you have a better wing chun man.

Good video Useful ideas to consider. Just on a side issue, why does WC claim to be 'scientific' when for example it has no and teaches no knife defence? It's a limited science then?
