Maybe it's all about the geometry and not so much the frame material.

Yes true on road bikes = carbon or Al. will have a more lively feel than steel. I still prefer the steel ride especially on long road rides.
On the trail where trail conditions can be rough (rocky / roots / ruts, etc) an AL. frame can be very harsh compared to Ti or steel frame. Ti and steel frame are very comfy & forgiving ride.
