It depends on where you're trying to go.
The bus from Epcot to DHS is very much faster than the boat and takes you to the top of the park, not the bottom.
Remember, the Friendships ARE the buses from both Epcot and DHS for the 5 Crescent Lake/Epcot deluxe resorts (7 if you count the DVCs at Beach and Boardwalk as well). Those hotels have no bus service to either park. This is similar to the monorail resorts not having any bus service to Epcot, only the monorail.
And keep in mind that boats only run every 20 minutes or so and it takes 45 minutes to go from DHS to Epcot.
There are also many times that I've taken the boat from DHS and gotten off at Swolphin then walked the rest of the way into Epcot from there rather than waste an extra 15 minutes or so on the boat and probably miss Illuminations.
