Aww, trying for insults? Cute.

The OP isn't asking g a scientific question, he's asking a a psychological question. Which are best answered clearly 😉

But you do you envypants.

There really isn't any. The amount of work involved to terraform, and time, would vastly overshadow what it would take to repair the Earth.

Plus it's mostly theoretical and untested, whereas in the case of Earth its mostly a matter of stopping pollution.

No, it's pretty much wish fulfillment at the moment.

I did miss one thing though. Superhabitable planets or Earth like planets would obviously be far easier to adjust to human needs. Kepler 1126b is the best IIRC.

But that becomes a question of reaching it and time taken.
