It's certainly one of the greatest, but I still like FF7 better, it was a bigger jump in : graphics (oh the awe-inspiring cinematics!), script (lots of more dialogue, character development, better all the way than what the games were limited in 32MB cartridges, the materia system is still to me the best gameplay mechanic of any FF game, relics and magicite can't hold a candle against it. Final Fantasy 6 villian is really cool, but honestly, what's the big deal about Keftka aside from his excentric antics and maniac delusions? Sephiroth has a whole background story, motivations, and he's a lot cooler to boot.
I think I'm talking with a solid objective point of view here, since I recently finished FF7 again, and I have certainly played and finished FF6 at least 3 times in the last 4 years. I can objectively say the glare and shine of the FF7 did ware off and didn't stand the test of time (how could it?) but that PSone games still has lots of things to be marveled about even today, the gameplay is so deep, the beastiary so large, the easter eggs, the materia customization, the sidequests, the extras...it's so so big. It certainly passed the nostalgia test. If you want a fair comparison you had to play those games during their prime and then play then again 10 years later, I know I did, and FF7 just beats FF6, it was just too big for its time and still shows.
