Obviously this is deeply subjective, but I have to provide a counter-example. I have built several keyboards with Cherry blue switches and several with Cherry clear switches, but even though the Clears have a more pronounced tactile bump and stronger springs than the blues, the blues are much more satisfying for me to type on.
Of course it's not practical to use blues in a shared space, so clears are a great choice there.

This is true of conventional layouts, but there are several designs that feature improved staggering arrangements (vertical staggering instead of horizontal) or modifiers on the thumbs instead of the pinkies; both of these can contribute to significant improvements in comfort.
