The Tiger Moth is a wonderful aircraft to have flown and I'm very pleased to have done so. However, although Brits understandably tend to wax lyrical about the Tiger, I think the Stampe and the Stearman which were designed and built in the same era are better aircraft and, for me, more enjoyable to fly.
I was thrilled when I first flew a Tiger Moth at the Tiger Club, and tootling over the countryside in a classic open-cockpit biplane is an enjoyable experience but, after I'd been checked out to fly the Stampe, only took a Tiger Moth if there wasn't a Stampe available. It's much more responsive (ailerons on both wing surfaces) and much more fun. Perhaps if I'd done more hours in the Tiger Moth I'd have a different view. It's relatively easy to fly, but difficult to fly well - I didn't get to that stage.
The Stearman is pure joy to fly. Less agile than the Stampe, but excellent handling qualities.
Of
biplanes of that vintage, I'd say Stearman, Stampe (almost a tie, but for different reasons) and then Tiger Moth.
The Chippy had a disturbing tendency to swing a bit on landing on a runway, if not watched carefully.
All taildraggers do to varying degrees, but I never found it to be an issue with the Chipmunk - a superb aircraft IMHO.
I loved flying the Harvard but the Chipmunk's beautifully harmonised controls and excellent handling qualities are rightly famed.
