Better color reproduction than any other LED lights on the market. The reds look red, not pink. Blues look blue. They're not thin or washed out.
They respond quickly to changes. Other brands lag by up to several seconds.
The app works perfectly every time. It's easy to set up routines, both time and location based. You can also easily create scenes with specific lighting colors and dimming. You can have one scene for reading where the light by your comfy chair is bright white, but the rest of the room is subdued.
Integration with voice assistants is good, though I have to admit Google assistant keeps getting dumber by the day - that's Google's fault, not Hue's.
Zigbee. The Hue lights operate on their own Zigbee network, keeping the load off your Wi-Fi network.
Hue Play. When you add the Play sync box and one of the gradient light strips to your TV it adds a whole new dimension to watching movies
The breadth of their offerings. Indoor, outdoor, low voltage, 110v, fancy fixtures or bare bulbs, the Hue ecosystem has it.
I won't deny that the bulbs are expensive, and most of their fixtures are pretty ridiculously priced. But you get what you pay for.
As an added bonus, if you don't already have LED bulbs, they offer a pretty substantial reduction in electricity usage compared to incandescent, or even florescent bulbs.

Every other app for LEDs has a ton of ads, and is super slow. The only Hue product I dislike are the strip lights.

In our bedroom, they're mounted on the underside of a bureau and make a great nightlight/background light when watching TV.
I use the somewhat cheaper white ambiance bulbs - I don't need the colors. And I really like the wireless dimmer switches. I can now put a lightswitch wherever in the house I want it (nightstand beside the bed, for example) if I don't want to controll them with voice commands.

Are the 60w bulbs really that much weaker?

Yes, but unless it is like a living room you probably don't need the 100w. Go get a cheap 60w and 100w LED bulb and look at the difference, that should give you a good idea.
I own both and the 60w is pretty good for almost everything, only bought 100w because of a deal at the time.

Anyway you cut it, $75 dollars for three smart bulbs is insane considering you also need their hub etc to use them. Stop paying these prices. They are 400% higher than the next best brand

The Wiz bulbs aren't great. Hue purchased them from a Hong Kong company to offer a lower priced line. They are definitely not the same quality as the Zigbee bulbs.
