Depends on how you use your ereaders. I used Kindles for a decade before moving exclusively to Kobo readers, which I find more to my taste. I've always been a heavy calibre user and sideloaded all my books, including my Amazon and Kobo purchases; nothing is ever downloaded directly from the store to my devices. Kobos work far better with calibre than Kindles (including automatic metadata and collection management, series support, reading progress backup and so on), so for my use case they're easier and more convenient, plus support a lot of things Kindles don't.
If you're the type who prefers direct downloads from the store, wifi downloads for non-store bought stuff and don't want to mess with USB cables (the majority of Kindle users fall in this category, probably), then yes, Kindles are more convenient for all this.
