I actually like the RJs: quicker boarding (less pax) and a guarantee of no middle seats...
The CRJ900s that US flies seem to have every window perfectly misaligned with the seats. At least the ones that I have been on have been that way.
As far as comfort, I find the seats narrow and very hard. Tolerable for a very short haul, but for flights of more than an hour or so, I try to avoid them.
If you are looking for 2X2 seating, the EMB170 is a lot more comfortable. Both wider and softer.
