Great, I love these small jets for shorter distances. So much more comfortable than a320 or b737 for whatever reason (probably because it's usually more expensive hence higher seat pitch)

Embraer 190 is my favorite short haul. As you indicated the seat pitch and airiness feels much more comfortable than a packed a320 or 737

Embraers are so much nicer for passengers in nearly every way than Bombardiers. I wonder what the advantage the other way is - there must be one?

I've flown both (but not the A220) and I felt the Bombardier was much smoother and quieter. Could have been the individual airplanes though.

My understanding is that the fuel efficiency was the feature that made them an attractive design for a race-to-the-bottom travel market.

Plus boarding is quicker.
