in affirmative sentences, not. should use as long as.
in negative sentences, true.

I think they're basically interchangeable. Please refer to Manhattan SC Page 145

And ^LS, please give us some examples? (btw, you're in Spain?)

"as long as" would probably be more likely to show a time interval whereas "so long as" is more of a condition.

I will sit here as long as (for the amount of time) it takes for you to understand the answer.
I will stop talking so long as (with the understanding that) you understand the answer.

as long as v.s. so long as
