I have 10 hours in a cessna 152, and have done about 30 landings (guess im not yet considered a pilot). Somtimes I do get that dread when landing in the 747. I guess can you just "feel" it, maybe it is the breakup of airflow overtop the wing as you come in. But as far as those FSX people go, they will never change and obviously they see X-plane as a threat to their business. Edit: Monopoly, lol. I think that MSFS flight- model is generic for every single aircraft, and has no uniqueness to it. I definitely think that the flight model in X-plane is inherently better, although it has its issues. I think FSX is boring, real life flying is Never Boring, neither is X-plane. So, X-plane is more realistic.
