Both of these are often touted for the title. In Hexbears opinion, which had the better library of the two and was the better console?
I'm a super Nintendo guy but I love the PS2 as well.

SNES by a mile. people still play those games on emulator (hell they even buy them through the switch to play them) and there are 200kb GameFAQs text files about some of the open ended strategy games (i.e. KOEI's Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, which is an insane game). not even getting into the library of foundational RPGs (Chrono Trigger, FF3, Earthbound, LoZ: ALttP) and offbeat games like Harvest Moon that played a clear role in major titles today (Stardew Valley), not to mention 4 player party games like Super Bomberman. SNES had good looking games that were and still are fun to sit down and play. it's first game, Super Mario World is still pleasant to look at. PS2 had cool games for its time, but the gameplay on its flagship titles is dated as shit. even when they "remaster" the graphics, it's a tub of wank. nevermind sony's endless mission to normalize 2+ minute load times.
Yeah, Nintendo had it's issues though as well back then. They were pretty heavily anti-consumer (even moreso than they are now). I also don't have an issue going back and playing most great PS2 games, but I can see how it might bother some.
That being said, I do agree with you in that I prefer the Snes. I just think it's a bit closer of a race than you seem to.
In my case, I've used emulation to experience them for the first time. Started gaming on the PS1 but the 16-bit era looks very attractive to me compared to say, 8-bit consoles or early PC or even pre-PC home computer games
