Both have their shortcomings, but dominant ESEs are more liked ime. They use their Fe a lot and are (over)concerned with getting along with other people. Normalising ESEs, when focussing on Ti, can be too bent on enforcing arbitrary rules and being correct all the time. They get super defensive when you point out any flaw in reasoning, while dominant ESE seem to appreciatethat more.
However, I think ESE get more hate on this forum than in real life because gamma introverts are venting on here.
In real life, XSEs get a bad reputation because they are too forceful, impatient, unable to introspect, pushing their needs/standards/opionions on other people, and unable to admit they are wrong/biased. They are pretty expressive, so it's easy to hate them compared to other types that are better at hiding their "bad side".
