I happen to like Daima quite a lot more and it's not even close. Both DBS and GT were massive disappointments. The problems people have with Daima, I do not share. Yes, Goku acts like a kid despite having the memories of being an adult. I assume the wish regressed his mind, not just his body. This is especially true for Dende who was a smiling baby while the bad guys picked him up. It was great seeing the franchise return to its adventurous and comedic roots. It's the fact Dragon Ball doesn't take itself too seriously that makes it so great. The enemies, like Tamagami and Gomah, seemed a bit cartoonish and not menacing, but at least they were original icharacter deas, whereas GT and DBS just reused old ideas for enemies most of the time. And it was just great seeing the lore be expanded upon with explanations of how the universe operates and where Namekians came from. At the end of the day, when watching something made for kids, you need to put yourself into that mindset and not expect something so serious and mature. Daima was made for kids, not old men who grew up with DBZ.

I enjoyed watching Dragon Ball Daima and Dragon Ball GT, as for Dragon Ball Super I liked it and didn't like it. I still say that the problem with DBS was they didn't put any effort into their writing, they thought they could get away by being an old and popular IP. They really messed up some character due to their low effort writing.
