Too much of anything is a bad thing. Too much understeer is bad. Too much oversteer is bad. Knowing your car's handling characteristics is the most important aspect (ie. Driver knowledge and skill). Knowledge of it's traction, how it transfers weight, its power delivery, etc. Neutral and communicative handling is best to retain control. FWD cars can be set up to moderate their inherent handling characteristics as can RWD cars.

Certainly if someone wants to just hoon around RWD = better. Or as a famous auto journalist has said, "he who shall be last, shall be sideways and smiling".
