Technically advanced and feature rich don't always translate to best. Best is what does the job. Sometimes a "lesser" product that has what you need is the best.

Quite.

As I read that, it occurred to me that technically advanced products are almost by definition inferior. Well, it depends on how you use the term, of course, but when you say "technically advanced" I automatically think about designs that focus on the technology itself instead of sensible application of it. A Good Product, on the other hand, is one that has exactly the right amount of technology at exactly the right place - and it will usually not be referred to as "advanced". The same with "feature rich", more or less; when I hear that term I understand that it has been more important to the designers to have *many* features than to have *useful* ones. Again, that's not how good designers work...
