They are better for some things, but other AVs are better for different things.
I agree malwarebytes is great but for removing and locating viruses at start up. I would recommend WinPatrol.
MWBs suck. It rarely detects and removes all MW on my test runs when I compare AVs, even those that aren't FUD. It is slow to update, and has many flaws in the system. For example, its full scan scans areas where malware won't be found, which is a waste of time. Plus it cannot be ran effectively in safe mode, which a lot of users commonly resort to when their computer is too slow to run in normal mode while running a scan, which is caused by all malware (some to a different extent). Also, MWB fails to locate the source of a found virus, hence in some cases allowing the malware to continue spreading.
And that folks, is why MWB sucks as a stand alone AV.
