The 737, even the new generation, might have the same issues due to commonality with its earlier Certificate.

The 757/767/767-400 and even the 777 appear to hold to a single Boeing design philosophy and way of doing things. From the articles I've read they are straightforward, responsive and real pilots' airplanes.
MD88 is CAKE, a simple jet that is easy to learn and fly, and won't bite you.

B-737, easy to fly, learn and getting longer legs (like BOS-LAX).

B-757/767, great airplanes, easy to learn, over-powered, easy to fly and best trips in the DAL system. What domicile?
