Completely agree! The last season was not good. However, the creators did say that it was not how they wanted to finish the series. I usually skip the last season when I rewatch ahah.
New girl relies far too much on awkward, cringe, humour to be actively funny. With too many larger than life charactures. 
Friends feels more like a comedy where you could actually imagine being in. >

That's interesting coz one of the main reasons I prefer New Girl is exactly for the reason you mentioned you don't. I can relate myself more to New Girl than Friends. Friends seems too out of touch with reality. >

Out of curiosity how old are you? >

I'm 26! >

A good 10 years younger than me then. I wonder if it's a generational thing. >

New girl falls off harder and quicker >

I agree. It feels much better to watch because I find laugh tracks (like the one in Friends) really annoying. >

Single camera (closed sets; no laugh track and a lot more cinematic and story driven comedy) is totally different than a multi camera sitcom (laugh tracks and filmed in front of a studio audience) >

I wasn’t referring to camera setups, I just said that I don’t like laugh tracks. >

Yeah but the entire show takes on a different tone when it’s single vs multi camera. Studios don’t even rate them against each other. 
Friends is comparable to Seinfeld or Big Bang Theory. Massive sitcoms that have broad appeal and air in syndication with few real story arcs. In other words, an occasional viewer can jump in at season 2 or 7 and not be lost at all. 
Single camera shows do not usually follow that “just drop in” structure. Also, the ratings alone tell us that Friends is orders of magnitude more popular than New Girl. >

I think freinds is discussed to much. Yea it was cute when it was on but there's better stuff now >

I agree with this one. Friends is super overrated. >

It really isn't.  They completely abandoned Coach in the last season and turned his character into a loser that owes Nick money.  Winston was the only consistent funny one in the show.  
They forced a lot of break ups to get Nick and Jessica together. >

I agree your comment about the break ups to get Nick and Jess together. But Coach has always been a passing cloud in the show. Winston is consistent but so is Nick- Schmidt chemistry which is the best part of th show :) >

Can’t agree because of how awful the last season of New Girl is. That shit was so bad I’ve refused to rewatch the show.
