I won't compare it against the competitors since I haven't used alternatives but my 2 cents:

1) This has been years in the making--these guys have spent the last couple of years focused on making the best tool possible.. days nights and weekends!\n2) They're super passionate about games/gamers.. they've organized gamejams and html5 meetups and are really in touch with the community.
