That's a bold statement, since Airbus has been delivering more planes than Boeing for many years now, and no new Airbus has a stick shaker.

No stick to shake.
I gave myself some wiggle room with the qualifier "pretty much".

AI made up for the lack of a stick shaker by making stall warnings very clearly audible, and by making it much harder to stall the aircraft in the first place (unless you dump autothrottle below 100ft, before some bugger brings up Habsheim again!).
