Mad Engineer,
The problem with the Airbus philosophy is that it creates a disconnect between the pilot and the aircraft he is flying. There is a computer in between the two who acts as an oversser of all that goes on and basically tells the pilot what he can and cannot do. While this certainly may be great when things are going well what happens when the computer isn' t having such a good day. For example at the infamous A320 airshow incident where it flew into the trees. While I know this did not involve activation of the stall protection this could never have happened on a Boeing as the pilot always has the last say.
