A more reliable, logical and fun airliner to fly I do not know; it set a new standard from the 80's forward. I honestly can't think of a 757 hull loss stemming from a design flaw or tech problem (leaving pitot covers on notwithstanding).
Having flown the 727, 747-400, 757, 767, and 777, the 757 is my favourite in flying qualities and performance. (I know it gives a tail-wagging ride in the far back - sorry, cabin crew).
" If it looks right, it'll fly right..." How true.
