I have both a Google Pixel 2 and an Apple iPhone X (my personal and my work phone, respectively) and I seriously prefer the Pixel in every regard, with the minor exception of lacking 3D touch support. But then it doesn't really seem like 3D Touch is used for much of anything on the iPhone (and when it is, it's a hidden cheat-code-like thing that is very undiscoverable).

I even like the shape of my Pixel better. The X's bump is a gimmick at best, a hindrance to app presentation at worst.

That is perfectly fine. It always boils down to what you prefer and what fits your workflow. I have no problem with Android in general. It is the grandstanding claims like Androids are better than iPhones at everything that I object to. It is preferable to have more choices than less. I wish the likes of Windows Phone, Ubuntu Touch and BB 10 had survived.
Interesting. I thought the pixel screen looked terrible compared to the X.
It does — the Pixel 2 XL screen that is. The Samsung manufactured Pixel 2 screen, on the other hand, is pretty good.
