    First definition is
    "skillful in underhand or evil schemes, cunning, deceitful, sly.

    Second definition is
    "skillful, ingenious, dextrous"

    I don't see it as a compliment bh. Different strokes. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday! :)

    Sounds like a compliment to me. I guess it does have kind of a negative connotation, but I also take it as a compliment when people tell me I'd make a great con artist.

    I choose to ignore the first definition you have outlined and will focus on the second.  Compliment.  If people call me crafty they like what I produce, so why feel insulted?
