It's the combination of the longer scale neck, easy fret access, extra frets, the fact that it's easy to swap out pickups and electronics, they look cool, most have FR's, great playability. Superstrats are designed for heavy rock/metal and shred. You don't absolutely need a superstrat to play that kind of music though.

Strat

yngwie malmsteem loves them. that should help dispel some of the gas. Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon Roth and J Hendrix love(d) them too.

The 3-bolt design on my MIM is rock solid, has never shifted or moved or anything like that.

I have a MIM 70's Classic strat and it's awesome. Olympic white, ash body, maple neck. Looks great too. I've played a 77 strat once and it's true what they say about 70's strats, it sucked. It was heavier than a LP and sounded like wet toilet paper. Looked cool though.
