Well, I can only speak for me, and I don't see one as better than the other. I just see different styles and components as better for some and not for others. Like me for instance, I got a step through bike on purpose. One, i thought it would be easier to get on and off. Two, I have a short inseam and my crotch doesn't clear most bikes
