One can do nicely staying in the Delta alliance over time.
No single alliance will have every route in the world nonstop. However Delta's Skyteam alliance is very good.
There is no one perfect alliance to get you on the best carriers at all time. It doesn't exist.
If you must have the best airlines at all times, you will have to be enrolled in multiple alliances and FF programs. Simple as that.
