Nooo, you misunderstand me. I loved Tekkit back when it was the only modpack, but the fact that it was done without permission of the modmakers (and more importantly, the fact that it froze every 15 minutes or so) left a lot of people hoping for something better. Cue FTB, which does what FTB tried only correctly- seeking permission from every single one of the developers, with better mods, and keeping it up to date.
It's no surprise Tekkit has a bit of a small following compared to FTB, for a very long time there was only one clear winner.
Even now with Tekkit suddenly jumping back into the game, it has to deal with a rather annoyed population of mod-lovers who were betrayed by it the first time around. Yeah, it's got cool mods that FTB doesn't (although to be honest Galacticraft is the only one I'm really hyped about) but I am not about to switch when Tekkit has a history of giving up on itself. Until it can prove itself as a serious long-term competitor, there is no competition. FTB is a clear winner for me, and also (I would assume) for a large portion of our userbase here on the forums.
Still, I'm not going to berate you for preferring Tekkit. Bottom line is, it's personal opinion. As long as you enjoy it, I wish you the best. :p

10/10, thanks FrozenFire
