1) wally is the one who defied modern age flash
2) wally's stories are the best of flash, dude was lucky. barry has to deal with venditti.
3) mark waid
4) jlu and mark rosenbaum
5) wally is more human, barry is always shilled
6) barry is a generic superhero. wally introduced legacy concept to comics. wally also went through a lot of character development, he didn't have pressed status quo
7) wally's side cast is better (even tv show uses them)
8) i think one of the main reasons, wally had a loooong run of good writers. from messner-loebs to johns he had a solid ran. only everything after infinity crisis was wonky and it effected barry too. best barry run besides silver age is manapul/buccellato because it had epic art to cover mediocre storytelling.
9) some people like young justice
10) he was close friend to dick who is a fandom dear.
