Which, admittedly, Sephiroth was the one to really start that idea of how a villain should be made in gear.
I do agree with you, though, that Sephiroth was an okay villain. I don't think he was a badass OR a wussy, I just basically thought he was....well, the antagonist. I don't know why, but that's the only way to really put it. He just kind of did his thing and you went after him for it.
