She's the most boring one, so that's unlikely

People love the shit out of Spider-Gwen, though.

And Peter's sort of spent years and years building her up as "the one that got away" in his head, to the point where a lot of fans (and writers) tend to see her that way as well.

It's telling that, in the wish-fulfillment storyline where everyone gets what they want, Peter's dream life is the one where he's married to Gwen and Uncle Ben is still alive.

It's also telling that, in spite of getting his happily ever after, everything still goes wrong in the end. Because deep down, Peter doesn't believe he deserves a happily ever after. So even magical wish powers tend to manifest his own innate instinct for self-sabotage.

She's also been painted in more of a "simple and pure" light in the years since her 616 death. She had more personality in her earlier appearances.

The irony is that Gwen was always sort of a bitch early on while MJ was usually more chill.

Also, people tend to think of Gwen as Peter's "first" and MJ as his "second", but MJ technically shows up in the comic first (sort of) and winds up dating Peter first. It's not until after he breaks up with MJ that they start to portray Gwen in a more sympathetic light and start hooking her and Peter up.

And people always forget Betty and Liz. MJ and Gwen were the college girlfriends, but Betty and Liz were the high school girlfriends for the first few years of the comic.
