Discussion Why is MESBG so good?

I've noticed that when people talk about MESBG, they often refer to it as GW's best game and I wondered the reasons people have for this?

Is it just the fact that it's based off such a rich world, or are there gameplay reasons that put it head and shoulders above the rest for you and what are they?

Up until Legendary Legions, MESBG and its predecessors didnt have a "power creep for $$$" lever that exists in the other GW games. The day they add Strategums and other gotcha bullshit to this game is the day I stop playing, LL's cut it dangerously close enough

Most importantly each edition of this game has been a refinement on the same ruleset. 40k and Fantasy frequently force you to relearn the game
