Me too, as the only times I've had to get out of my seat as a passenger because I just couldn't stand the torture of being in them was when I was on an Airbus. I know the interior is purely the decision of the airline and shouldn't be aircraft specific, but that's all I have.
I was also on a new A320 a few months ago, and was sitting in an isle seat. Every time someone walked past me, I could feel the seat moving as the floor flexed around. Then on landing, the crew used a lot of brakes and reverse, and I honestly thought the overhead lockers were going to fall right off, as they were flapping around so much.

I'd much prefer to be in something that inspires confidence that it's not going to fall apart at the drop of a hat.
