Which is easier: Boeing to Airbus, or Airbus to Boeing?

Which Boeing and which Airbus? If the level of avionics is similar, a
professional pilot can adapt to either with proper training.

Given that the two companies have different overall philosophies towards
pilot
ergonomy, I was thinking in a general sense, but perhaps with the
B737/A320
range more in mind.

Airbus seems to favor the notion that engineers should fly the plane with
the
pilot acting only as an attendant, whereas Boeing seems to believe that
pilots
should fly the plane with the engineers as attendants. So is it
preferable to
fly a plane that absolutely refuses to do what the engineers have
forbidden,
at the price of memorizing all the AI that they've built into the aircraft
and
having no option if one needs to fly outside the envelope in an emergency,
or
is it better to fly a plane that will do whatever it is told in a more
predictable way, at the price of risking serious consequences if one tells
the
plane to do something outside of its envelope?

It could not have failed entirely, or you would not be posting this.

If you've never flown big iron, I can see why it might not seem interesting to
you.
