It's all a matter of personal taste. You say the reason you like Jordan is because you feel the plot is complex and it has caused you to go online to figure it all out. You also said that Eddings never managed to shock you with a plot twist, which is part of the reason you dont like him as much. I never said I didn't like either of them. When my kid starts getting into reading, the works of Eddings and Jordan will be on his father-imposed list of material. However, by your same argument, I can say I prefer other authors more than Jordan. Never once have I been surprised. I haven't felt the need to go online and figure out the plot, because it was too obvious to me.
Also, I think you are taking someone's opinion (mine) on an author's work (Jordan) too personally. I'm not insulting anyone. If you think Jordan is the best, great. I disagree. Just like I think Erikson is the best, many of you probably disagree (though I'd suggest you read the full series before judging). You might say he's overly complicated for your tastes, or like a longer more detailed version of some of Cook's stuff. It's not an insult, it's an opinion of personal taste.
Everyone thinks that SOMEONE is the best storyteller. They aren't right or wrong.
