Default Re: What are GURPS' true strengths?

I have many universal RPGs, and the strengths of GURPS for me are:

1) The design is cohesive, coherent, and complete.
2) The writing is excellent - it's friendly, fun-to-read technical writing!
3) It does regular humans really well, from realistic to fairly cinematic.
4) There's a lot of stuff that's been published for it.
5) It is well supported* by new publications, with a great dedicated monthly magazine and at least one supplement coming out every month.
6) There is a great community of GURPS enthusiasts.
7) The people who develop for it are active in the community.
9) It's from a great, well-respected company.

* If you like PDFs. I'm OK with them, since SJG makes explicit and clear my permission to print a copy for personal use.
