I suppose, but the fact that Sidious managed to wage a war and create enough dark side power means that Sidious IS more powerful.
Yoda and the Jedi failed, they were outsmarted by Sidious.
Sure, Yoda and Palps may skillfully be equal, but as far as history goes, Sidious has Yoda at a complete checkmate.
The battle between Yoda and Sidious has essentially been taking place since Episode I, and Episode III is the final showdown. However, Sidious knew what he was doing all along and Yoda was always on the defensive.
It's REALLY interesting because it proves how a fallen Jedi is the chosen one. The Jedi were always defensive, waiting for things to happen rather than making things happen. A fallen Jedi who turns good would be the only way to bring balance, because that individual would be both aggressive and defensive. They would make things happen, and bring the change, and not let the dark side of the force get away with conquerring the galaxy.
It shows how Yoda was effectively doomed from the start because no Jedi understood what the hell was going on until it was too late. A fallen Jedi on the dark side would come to understand how ALL of the force works and bring a power that neither Yoda or Sidious could understand.
It's really interesting stuff.
