The thing about the IETF is that all the _other_ organizations in
similar positions (coordinating standards) seem to suck so much in
comparison -- partly for good reason, but nonetheless.  I think the IETF
hit an appealing sweet spot for many people because they were
comparatively looser and less bureaucratic, but still turned out useful
standards.
