As writing systems go, in all fairness, it's hard to beat a simple 
alphabet, in a lot of criteria.  OK, it sounds kind of narrow-minded to 
say it, but alphabets really do (or can) rock.  They're flexible, they 
use a minimum of glyphs, they're extensible by various means even 
without actually adding whole new letters...  Granted, those aren't 
always the criteria being used to judge...
