Don't know if this was already asked in this thread or not, but how much of a problem can strong surface winds be whilst landing?

Besides being a bit uncomfortable on the way down, is there anything dangerous about landing in windy conditions? And what types of aircraft are better suited to handle these conditions (if there's a difference at all)?

Thanks.
