Dirtbikes are a little harder to control in turns, especially loose packed turns with out a berm. Woods riding is alot harder too, wet tree roots are a bitch along with mud and ruts. In a strait line dirtbikes can be harder to control to, if you get a little sideways on a very loose packed surface its harder to bring it under control. Yea some guys are assholes about it, but i know alot of assholes on quads too, *cough honda riders *cough. Its a matter of what you like, me personally i like them both pretty equal.
