Mathematicians have excellent tests for the correctness of a proof, so they rarely disagree for long.
Seemingly longstanding disagreements in quantitative fields exist, see e.g.:

edit : this disagreement is about an actual meaningful question with an answer, not things like B vs F (which are arguments about taste, as far as I can tell).
How does that dispute stand today? Is it still running, have the parties reached agreement, or are they not talking to each other?
I will see what I can find out. My guess is there was no resolution.
