Default Re: GURPS or Modern D20?

Gurps is so far the only roleplaying system I haven't had major issues with (There might be minor issues, but every system has those and that's what these boards can solve). It openly embraces things like "The GM is law, not the rules" and "Yes, you can do it here". As far as I can tell, what any other system can do, Gurps can also do, and maybe better.

The only problem I see people having with gurps is the amount of thought the gm has to do, especially since most systems cater to a specific setting, while gurps is open ended and a toolbox.

Note, I'm not just saying this on this site. I've said things like this on other sites, especially when I was trying to convince people on the D&D boards why gurps is better than D&D. If nothing else, gurps can be D&D also.

EDIT: Ninja'd by a better answer.
