LOL -- I know Socom has its issues, and we complain too, BUT it does do a lot of things right. It is fun to play, has simple controls, and lends itself well to building small unit tactics and cohesiveness.

I don't know if more techincal gameplay would be an asset or not. I remember I loved Strike Commander for the PC but hated more techinical F-16 simulators... too much BS, not enough actual fun.
I've never played any game longer than I played Socom. Before the lag became unbearable, I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Unfortunately there was no other recourse but to move on to something better, and I think Ghost Recon 2 is definitely better (The XBOX version, that is). But it depends on the person and what your idea of a fun gaming experience is. Plus, the Xbox offers more control as far as keeping out unruly hooligans.
