Which one has been successfully sending astronauts to space for years now and which one stranded them?

Which one do you think the astronauts want to ride on?

Which one do I want to ride? Soyuz? Or maybe upgraded Starliner?

I don't want to listen to the maddening tic tic tic tic tic sound[1] on Dragon doing best it can to deorbit by mashing H key, or experience human excrement contamination problem[2] caused by toilet system becoming autonomously unassembled. Soyuz with intact main engines don't seem to have those kinds of problems[3], only spinal injury risks in ballistic modes.

Dragon V2 is a Tesla rocket, after all. In hindsight, why would have it not been one, and how could have it ever been a good thing? Sure, Starliner practically died and rebooted during docking with the ISS, which is surely extremely dangerous, but when it comes to Dragon V2, they had proper kaboom during ground testing.

Tell me, which human spacecraft in past 20 years had a full on explosion, and why should I want to be on it?

DoesntMatter22 OP
LOL okay. Well you do what's best for you. I'll do what works and doesn't involve going to Russia or Flying on Starliner which literally left the last Astronauts stranded.
