eBike vs traditional bike comparison

Hey everyone!

Been thinking a lot lately about the eMTB vs. traditional mountain bike debate, especially after a recent ride up some gnarly local climbs here in the PNW. I was on my analog enduro rig, grinding away, while a buddy zipped past on his eMTB, looking fresh as a daisy. It really got me wondering: for those of you who've ridden both extensively on trails, what are your honest thoughts on the feel of the ride, particularly on technical descents and flow trails? Do you find the added weight of an eMTB changes the handling significantly, or does the extra power on the climbs just open up a whole new world of trail possibilities that outweighs any downsides? Keen to hear some real-world experiences!
