I agree about Adelaide traffic being rubbish - though I suspect Sydney's is still worse (I avoid the roads during peak hour except for a bit of dodging through the gridlock on my bike, so I'm not an expert on just how bad lie commuting from the burbs is, but my few morning experiences on places like Victoria Rd and Parramatta Rd make me keen never to do that on a regular basis).

I think everyone would agree that Eric Roozendaal is a boofhead (no offence Boof) but I still prefer living here to Adelaide or Canberra - the beaches are a lot better for a start, as is the weather. But I wouldn't call the other places boring - they're alright - by and large how "good" a city is depends on which part you live in and spend most of your time...
