I never really gave the fast twitchy steering on my Giant Sedona much thought until I had swapped bikes with my friend's Specialized Roll. It was only then I realized how much difference the front end geometry can make in handling. I'm guessing the Roll, Being a comfort bike is designed to provide a more stable ride so It's not surprising it is so different.
As a recreational cyclist I don't find the faster steering to be any more fun, stable, or requiring any more attention then any other bike. It only takes a few minutes on the bike to get used to it, and after a few hours I just take it fore granted.
