Glass cockpits and FBW are great, in theory. In practice, I don't know because I haven't had to use it. However, don't make the mistake of assuming that just because the US Navy can't get a well-engineered system put together means that Boeing and Airbus are guilty of the same. (Their glass-cockpit systems come from other vendors, who also supply to smaller aircraft makers BTW.) Also, how many foreign militaries have had problems like this with basic ship steering? From what I can tell, the US Navy is uniquely broken here. UK, Australia, Japan, France etc. do not have have their ships plowing into slow cargo ships. Commercial aircraft are not flying into the ground left and right. (The 737MAX is pretty bad, but that's not even related to glass cockpits; MCAS was a Boeing-engineered component, not a glass cockpit sourced from some vendor like Thales.)
