2003 Clone Wars had a competent Grievous and droids that didn't talk. It wins.

Clone Wars 03 was amazing and the subsequent series was made all the worse merely by failing to live up to the greatness of its predecessor. Even at it's best the CGI Clone Wars never made me feel the excitement that the previous series did. It only ever achieved "decent" for me.
Rebels is currently looking extremely good and is already stronger series because the characters are actually likeable and it has consistent tone and quality. People who find the 08 CW better are likely just more invested due to a longer running time and more exposure to the characters imo.
It's because the higher points in TCW shits on Rebels' high points.
I don't really see how Rebels has any consistent tone. Like, compare "Spark of Rebellion," the episode with Zeb & Ezra, the 3PO/R2 episode to "Rise of the Old Masters". That is not consistent. I'm not going to pretend TCW has a consistent tone, but still.
And I think TCW characters are very likable. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka (**** you, haters), etc.
Well I wouldn't expect Rebels to have it's best ever episodes in S1, given that TCW didn't have them until like S3. But then again Rebels is only planning like 4 seasons, so S2 will have to give us something akin to TCW's best.
Well none of those episodes were torturous to watch Imo. And I liked how they fit it all in to the finale. Everything was relevant from giving C3P0 and R2D2 back to Bail to the Tie-Fighter they stole.
So yeah I do feel Rebels has been more consistent in it's quality. But to be fair it's had a much shorter season. But I'm all for shorter seasons and less seasons if that increases the average quality per episode.
I thought for instance it was a big mistake to extend Gotham's first season from the originally planned 16 episodes to a full 22. You can just see the filler in episodes now. Who wants to watch those low quality filler in episodes? It almost put me off Gotham completely.

They had no time for character devloppement.. They make no fail in character devloppement.. Where Rebels and clone war are making some fails in character devloppement.... If there is great things there is also some fails.. And when you begin to notice those fails.. eerr humhum..... You just begin to hate the serie..
I was loving TWC... It was my favorite show.. But that WAS before.
