Coil Over vs Torsion Bar

It seems to me that everyone considers coil over front suspension an upgrade to the torsion bar setup. ...why?
Is it really superior?
I thought torsion bar suspension was supposed to be one of the big benifits over Ford and Chevy?

Let's discuss

The coil overs can be adjusted for ride or control, maybe better response. Personal preference plays a big role but for the street rider, torsion bars should suffice. IMHO
