Goodbye is more casual and is used more often.

Yes, "so long" is a perfectly good way to say goodbye. It means exactly the same thing and it sound natural. Some people prefer to say "so long" because it is less common. But both phrases are said and both are natural.

So long is technically the same as goodbye, but has a hint of somberness to it. You might say it when there is no definite time to which you might met again or if you really don't want to end your visit with someone so early.
The word "long" shares its root with the word "longing." I hope this helps. =)

I never actually heard or used 'so long' to say bye - even though it could be used. But it's just not common. When someone says "so long" to another person, usually they're referring to "it's been a while we haven't seen each other".

Really? I never thought of it.
So we need to be careful when to say so long...😓

@alexandrite Yeah. But the 'so long' with the meaning I meant comes usually in the beginning of a conversation. Also, from the context, people will always understand what you mean.
