Simply put, turn-based RPGs and action-based RPGs are two distinct genres. Some people don't want to think what their character does, but just play. Others like the idea of thinking about their options and choose wisely. For both genres are good and bad examples.
I personally like turn-based more, although I still like some action-based games like Xenoblade. But I also like board-games.
I think turn-based puts the focus away from quick reactions to more deep systems of fighting. And this offfers some truly different styles. Look how differently turn-based RPGs can be solved by the examples of Child of Light, Bravely Default, SMT IV, Pokemon or Fire Emblem. This diversity is also very cool.
