I was Atari user.
C64 was better for games. It had text mode where each individual character could have different colors. This was huge. Sprites were better for games. Eigth of them with x and y position. Atari had 4 sprites that were entire columns. All games were created in text mode since you were not able to repaint entire screen otherwise.
