The movies and books focus on isolated periods of instability, not on the general status quo. Your question is akin to watching movies on 9/11 and asking "Why are the Islamists stronger than the US?"
I don't think the question was in any way meant to bring EU stuff into discussion. Even still, from that standpoint, the dark side and sith lords do a whole lot of bad stuff.
From the standpoint of the movies, the sith lords cause a ton of damage.
As I said in my post, sith lords seem stronger because they're more powerful, not because they're stronger.
I hope that distinction makes sense. If it doesn't, check my post.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
Why are the Sith always made to seem stronger than the Jedi?

This. And "Star Wars" is not really trying to be anything more than a campy space opera. &

Wrong as it sounds: Balance to the force actually means no dark side practitioners. *NM*

That's all true, but my point is simply that the Jedi are in charge more often than the Sith.
