Why? All the good things that JMS' run had, Simonson's had as well, except with a higher level of quality and much more. That's the best way I can summarize it.
JMS' Thor run was good I'd say but very few runs match up to Simonson's Thor.

JMS did great work updating many aspects of Thor. He got the series in a good direction, and helped the movie get made. But I still favour Walt Simonson as the best.
