Most people would probably answer Brahms, I think -- but is Bruckner really the greatest symphonist (chronologically) after Beethoven?

I'm curious to know whether most of the people here are in the catagory that states "Bruckner is one of my favorite composers, but admittedly he isn't great enough to stand alongside Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.," or "Bruckner is one of my favorite composers, and he deserves to be honored alongside Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.," or some other catagory. I know you like Bruckner. The question is not, "do you like Bruckner?" it is; "is Bruckner great?"
