Soft copper pipe is, hard pipe is another story. I live in a 120 year old house so I get to mess with plumbing issues every once in a while. Type L hard copper pipe is some tough stuff. Plus should I drop it I can always heat it up and replace the section that it damaged. Copper doesn't tarnish super fast either, it will eventually but not while you watch it. I've got pipes in my basement that have been around for longer then I have and they are dull but not green yet. It wouldn't be maintenance free like PVC, but I bet a few minutes after a month of play would keep it clean and shiny.
