Quake 2's The Edge already won best map ever. Everything afterwards just has to strive for second place.

So I played that map a little recently and hated it, just watching a video of it right now and can see multiple huge issues with it compared with the gameplay of the game. Has a bunch of weapons down dead ends totally messing with the flow of movement, also making it easy to stop someone getting to those weapons if you already have them. Has a few areas where it goes from nice and open to allow for the fast paced movement of quake to 1 character wide stair ways. Can you explain to me why its considered a good quake map, because I would have thought the opposite.
