What is it about the scar?

Question for the group at large.
What is it about the SCAR platform that has everyone so geeked up? I understand the SOCOM thing but other than that, I am having a difficult time seeing it. I read thread after thread on this and other forums about people being fired up about the SCAR being released to the public, while to me, it just looks and feels like a bulky, plasticy thing. Admittedly I have never had the chance to shoot one but ergonomically, it does not feel anywhere near as good as the AR platform to me. In addition, while it may end up being the "official" SOCOM platform, those guys carry what they want most of the time anyways, so how often actual teams are carrying the SCAR down the road remains to be seen.
As a disclaimer, this is not a FNH hate-fest. I have an FNH SLP shotgun that I absolutely love, and while the m249 sucks, the m240 kicks ass. I have also heard very good things about their bolt action rifles.
So, anyone here who can't wait for the SCAR to be released? If so, mind sharing your reasoning? I'm not hating here, just curious I guess...
Thanks
