Main problem with Airbus is that they tell you it is straightforward, they tell you that the aircraft will look after you, they tell you all about the protections and how they work, they tell you about what happens when the protections are degraded.
What they don't tell you is that because of all these design "improvements" you, the pilot, have to watch it far more closely than a "conventional" aircraft.
Typical case in point is if you are flying an approach with the autopilot disconnected (standard Cat 1) and you have reason to Go Around. A conventional aircraft will pitch up for you as the power comes up, an Airbus will simply fly you into the ground at a higher speed, unless you do some thing about it!
