There are obviously quite a few other great cartoons that would also be considered to be the best cartoon of the decade like Gravity falls and Star Vs the forces of evil, so it’s hard to say for sure.

I’d say no but that’s a very hard title to give any show. Between Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and Star Vs. the Forces of Evil, the 2010s are somewhat of a golden age in western children’s cartoons. I don’t think there’s any one show that could claim the title of best. Friendship is Magic is my personal favorite but I’ll still admit that it’s not objectively better the best.

The problem here is what make you consider as “the best cartoon”? It’s completely subjective.
 
But for my personal point of view. MLP FiM is my best cartoon of all the time. It’s change my life for a better, overcoming depression, make me into the making digital art, found an awesome friends, and many more. No other cartoon (in fact any Series) that have so much influence to my life than MLP FiM. Even my second best cartoon, Rick and Morty. Doesn’t have a quarter as many influence as MLP FiM

Honestly, I’m not sure what MLP does better than the current popular shows.

Not really, there ain’t must choice in advancing a series which so strongly adheres to it’s own theme and title. Longevity was not a concern early on, and it shows with how little thought was put into world building/establishing “rules” on how things work. Competing against are series which have no such crippling restraints, and in the case of mature series like Rick and Morty actively thrives off going nuts with it’s theme (“Sci-fi + dark humor”) while remaining entertaining, something MLP painfully struggles to pull off nowadays.
 
Oh, and there is competition this time around. Hot damn were the early 2010s devoid of alternatives.

I agree that FiM was clearly not meant to go on for as long as it has and that it is causing some obvious problems. That being said, since the show is still going I think that the writers have been pretty resourceful in finding ways to keep the show going without it getting too stale. The focus has changed some but I’m still enjoying it. “A Royal Problem” and “The Perfect Pear” might be two of the most enjoyable episodes in the entire series.
