I genuninely liked Jaden, he was probably the last well done YGO protagonist imo. His personality could certainly come off as annoying, (I definitely agree) but it came off realistic and felt like someone you'd probably meet in high school. He also didn't abuse plot armor nearly as much as Yugi did in the original series and lost quite a few times, which made him a flawed character and something for him to build off of. And he didn't take every duel with this super deep "do or die" nature when it wasn't neccessary - which is one of the main problems I had with Yami/Atem and the personality lacking robot Yusei Fudo.
Was he a better protagonist than Yugi? I'd say there's room to argue on both sides and no clear winner, tho a slight edge Yugioh for being the OG. But I'd put him definitively above every other Yugioh MC to come after him.

Jaden may be OP, but he's still my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh protagonist.
