The leaderboard aspects of Strava are the worst part. I like it as a personal training log, and as a way to keep up with friends who are also being fit. The social aspects are really nice, as it's fun to be asked about your run through X over the weekend, or to know who to ask about running routes in a certain park.

It's also a nice nudge to go work out. "I don't have anything on Strava yet this week, I should go for a bike ride over lunch today" is really helpful mentally.

It would be nice to be able to look at month by month rather than week by week, and not just sequentially but year over year to see improvements.
It keeps your history on segments and rides for years. Really good for that in fact.
Veloviewer's good for that.
