On the Aeropress, I think the beauty is that its really difficult to make a shit cup of coffee with it. For years I stopped using it after getting really into pourover, but recently rediscovered it after buying the Aeropress Go for a tour last summer.
It'll never outshine a decent V60 or Chemex, but its perfect for times when you dont have scales or a thermometer, or for those mornings when you're running late for work and dont have time to nail all the variables to making a pourover. Quick and easy to get average results.
With more effort, it can make really nice coffee - theres some great recipes on aeroprecipe.com - but if I'm going to put that much time into coffee, or if I'm making more than one cup, V60 is still best.
