I'll admit that one. CT is strong in almost all categories. I don't think it's the strongest in any category, except maybe side content (and even there I narrowly give the win to Persona), but it is strong in nearly all categories, which makes it hard to knock out based on category selection.

And, yes,the category system did lead to some interesting developments throughout, so I'm exaggerating. I'm just disappointed it didn't alter the ultimate outcome. Think what you would feel if FF7 won again. :P. That's probably about how I feel.
