Why are GE locomotives better than EMD?

I think ever since EMD had all of those electrical problems with their SD50's in the early to mid 1980's railroads seem to be buying more GE's. All of those problems almost put EMD out of business. Another reason why some might like EMD's is because of the SD40-2's made in the late 1970's. Many of those SD40-2's are still pulling trains today! Another reason why more people might like GE's are because of the less maintence and they don't suck up a lot of fuel like EMD's SD45's did. I hope that helps you a little bit!
