Depends what you mean by better.
I agree Glicko approximates your true skill level better and faster. It's also not as fun as ELO in my view. With ELO when I win a few games in a row I get an exciting chance to play against much better players than usual. This is a fun challenge. It's necessary to learn new things. It gives you highs and lows. It's just fun.
With Glicko, once it pinpoints your true skill level, it feels like 2 meters of mud around you. You will never get out of it and you will be forever matched vs the same group of players stuck near you.
So yeah, I don't like Glicko. I have quitted services over it (even something like chess problem solving website). It's just not fun imo.
