Yes; I was not alluding to either being better, just very different philosophies: and mishandling of some modes can cause undesirable consequences. B737 has, I believe. more pilot direct input and in a simpler manner.

My only thought was because of the subtle and quite significant differences swapping between the 2 in close proximity might not be wise. Imagine you are more experienced on one than the other, and on a dark bad-hair monstrous night you react instinctively to the wrong a/c.
Only those who've flown both can, perhaps not in close proximity duties, educate us if this is indeed a problem, or a perception of a problem. I'm just curious. Considering B737 & B767 were considered too different to operate together, the Boeing AB difference is much wider.
I'll be interested in comments of the focused question.
