This is a helicopter forum so naturally the posters are going to be biased towards helicopters. But I always laugh when I hear helicopter pilots say that fixed-wing flying is "easier." Anyone who would say such a thing has never flown an airplane. Or hasn't flown one much.
Hovering is solely what separates the two types. Hovering is a high-workload task that requires pretty much the same level of skill all the time. Yes, I've made some tricky approaches in my 206 that did require extra skill in their planning and execution, but it's what happens when the rotor drops below ETL that causes all the "fun."
By comparison, fixed-wing flying might seem "easier" or even "boring" on the surface. But then there are the times when you're landing to a runway and the wind is howling directly across it. And it's gusting. And it's raining. And it's at night. And the runway is short. And there's no other place to land close by. Have I been in such situations? Sure have! Not all airplane flying is done on beautiful, clear days with light winds that blow straight down long, wide runways. Oh, if only! I have sometimes wrestled with airplanes, cursing the day I ever got my fixed-wing rating.
I could go on but I won't. Fixed-wing flying offers different challenges and rewards than helicopter flying. Neither is "easier" or "more fun" anymore. To me, flying is flying - it's all good! We fly a Bell 206 as I said, but the boss keeps making noise about getting an airplane...a Piper Meridian or a TBM-850 or maybe a baby King Air. Frankly, even with 10,000+ hours of mostly helicopter time, I would crawl across broken glass to fly any of those airplanes.
Fly what you love...love what you fly...justify it any way you must. If you think that flying helicopters is the be-all and end-all and nothing else would ever make you happy, then that's great. But not everyone feels the same way. (Except on this forum.)
