DOES Games Workshop make the best miniatures in the world?

Well?

We've all heard the claim. We've also heard the counterclaim - companies like Tamiya, Privateer Press, Prodos, Anvil Industries, Statuesque Miniatures and others could all lay claim to be the best miniatures company in the world in terms of quality, output, core concepts and so on.

But what does the community think? Given that this is largely a GW-based forum, I'd expect a 'yes' overall, but I don't know.

Also note, the poll is a binary because if you have an opinion, leave it in the comments. If they're the best: why? If not: why?
