You sound like you are prescribing solutions for others that work precisely for you or what you feel should work for everyone. I'm sure you do not mean to. Not everything that works for you works for everyone. It isn't a matter of being better or worst for everyone it is what fits best for every individual.
Not to start a flame war, but you seem to be doing the same. You love Singapore and it works for you. That's great.
I spent several days there last year and will return for several more in October. I like the place. I think there are some interesting tourist things to see and do. And IMHO the people are gorgeous...some of the best looking men I have seen anywhere. I liked the diversity of the people.
But I have to say that when I am going halfway around the world I like to explore a bit outside the comfort zone. I prefer Thailand because it is familiar enough but at the same time totally different and there's so much diversity of scenery from one end of the country to the other. Some of the more "rustic" destinations around the region are just a lot more interesting to me.
However, if you want some place comfortable (or as comfortable as you can get in that climate anyway) then for sure Singapore is a good place to be.
