Classic is all about leveling, the end game is easy and the itemization and class design is horrible. TBC improved on all of that. Sure they didn't make a new Naxxramas, but Sunwell was close. People were getting better, gearing up was better because the itemization was better, they improved on many of the flaws vanilla had in that regard. More and more spec got viable as well, of course not perfect either, but way better than what it was.
TBC is the better version of vanilla. For those who liked dungeons and raiding, like me. Great times! And if you loved the leveling and exploring vanilla had, sure, Classic must be great.
