I'd be more concerned about who is flying than what I am flying in. Now if you are talking about actual piloting preference, then I could understand better your feelings.
Therein lies the problem. In an airbus it's more the computers in control than the pilots. Nothing wrong with the aero of an airbus, it's the philosophy behind the flight control systems.

If you're ever in a commercial/large aircraft in trouble you want to be in a Boeing.
