I read online all sorts of random thoughts but unclear
Was it that bad or was it cheap enough that it was one of the earlier, more accessible printers?
Everyone poopoos on Creality but I picked up a K2 earlier this year & it's been awesome... I'm thinking that Enders really soured everyone's opinion on Creality
Short answer is bambu is a lot better at plug and play but costs more upfront. Bambu also uses proprietary stuff so you're locked into their system.
Anycubic is a very YMMV. Some people get units that work flawlessly and others get duds. So their QA process is questionable. You can tinker more with these too to get the print you want. Having an AMS is really nice if you move beyond PLA printing but also good for PLA.

In addition to manual leveling, the early build plate materials just were not as good. Today basically everyone is using some type of PEI build plate. Back then people were using other materials that just didn't work as well. So more limited build plate + manual leveling was an issue.
With the Ender V3 generation the Enders became generally easy to use with auto bed leveling (and offset), networking etc. The earlier Enders were a bit like the Model T of printing. They were great because they were cheap and often the only printer anyone had. However, with newer options the Model T went from "so much better than the horse" to obsolete very quickly.
