Most of what I've seen has shown that it is indeed better, although not perfect. E.g. glyphosate is detectable in organic wine, but at much lower levels (5x?) compared to regular wine.
Whether total pesticide load (however you want to measure that) is higher or lower for organic vs conventional, varies widely with crop, location and farming method.
There are toxic organic pesticides like copper-based compounds that persist in the soil. And things like strawberry fields are fumigated with methyl bromide regardless of organic or conventional.
There is not perfect data on the harmfulness of many synthetic pesticides, so it's really hard to make a great judgment on whether it's worse or better for you - unless you have general faith that petroleum derived mystery cocktails are pretty much always going to be harmful.
It's all bad when it comes down to it, we should prefer something like permaculture.
Actually it is a pretty interesting point.
It's interesting that organic crops have glyphosate despite it being banned for use with them, but that's a separate discussion.

Competition is pretty strong and super markets tend to have a decent selection on their shelves where I live. Prices are not noticably higher. You can buy some OK organic wines for around 5 euros here in Germany. IMHO having a lot of pesticides in the food chain is probably not a great idea. Even if it is probably fine, why take the chance? Finding out we're wrong might take decades.
