Eve online is extremely good but it is an incredibly complex game in which you can never hope to do "everything." It demands specialization and there's a period of time where one has to "pay one's dues." The impatient gamer will find this tiring. I have a several year old character and there are still only a few of the myriad options that I can do well.
My favorite thing about EVE is the hyper-realistic and robust economy. Nearly every item in the game is produced exclusively by players. All of the subscribers play (and trade) on the same server, unlike other games like world of warcraft. The WOW and D3 auction houses are a joke compared to the EVE market. My second favorite thing is that there are harsh consequences for death. It is quite easy to lose your ship and it SUCKS to lose your ship. You aren't whisked away to a graveyard where you can then roam around the spirit realm to find your corpse with your entire inventory intact. You lose that ship and all the cargo and equipment, and if you get your escape pod blown up you literally die which has even harsher consequences.
