To put what KenV is saying a bit differently:
'On Boeings, the flight/thrust controls move to reflect what the automatics are doing'. Wither or not that's better than the AB way is not the point - the point is that Boeing does that on purpose to provide the pilots tactile feedback of what the automatics are doing (and it the case of the flight controls, what the other pilot is doing). Pilots training and SOPs should be designed to take advantage of that feedback - to pound it into the pilots to verify - via that designed in tactile feedback - that the automatics (or the other pilot) are doing what they want them to.
