Titanium frames can ride soft or harsh. I have a Seven which is on the harsh side. I've put over 50K miles on it and it is durable but it feels like a CAAD5 I used to have.
I rode a friend's Moots Vamoots and it felt like a spring compared to my Seven.
I've had a number of steel frames and still have one. Steel can be extremely harsh or very soft. I have broken 3 steel frames.
The only full CF bike I've had is my mtb.
