Personally I preferred Oblivion and Skyrim but there are definite elements of Morrowind that I miss in the modern titles.
The imagination and the sheer sense of wonder you get as you come off the boat to explore beyond Seyda Neen still hasn't been matched. The quests were also some of the more impressive in the series but it was the architecture and the fact you truly felt like you were exploring an alien island, beyond anything on Earth. Expansions and DLC in Oblivion and Skyrim have tried to recapture some of that magic, but it's never quite as good as the original game.
Having said that, the improvements/modernization made in the gameplay, UI and speech mean I place Oblivion and Skyrim above Morrowind. I think its telling that a lot of the aspects/features user mods improved and introduced in Morrowind have found their way into the vanilla versions of its sequels.
