If they were better they would have done what Hashirama's father said: kill everybody. They simply failed to beat the Uchiha, and they had many years to do it, furthermore they couldn't beat the Uchiha even after Hashirama became their leader. We'll see in the next chapter if Hashirama spared his enemies when he became the strongest in the world.

No, they had a treaty to create the ninja village, they shook hands in the manga, they were equal partners in creating the village. Of course if Tobito's and other flashbacks tell the truth, we'll see about that in the next chapters. The problem was that while there were 2 almost equally powerful leaders who made the village but the military organization needed one leader. You can't disregard Kishimoto's hints in these 2 chapters where he shows us how competitive Madara is, he tries to be equal even in rock throwing to Hashirama, it's a clear hint that he would not accept being number 2 in the village. Madara feared that the Senju would wipe them out because the Uchiha chose to follow a senju leadership of the village over him. All that was about politics and selfish desires for power and not actual clan strengths.
