uneducated opinion here, but I have played a variety of JB servers since 2016, equally as both red & blu team, so I think I'm a little qualified to say something.
Some of our most liked maps are definitely the better looking ones. jb_carcerem was a terrible map for our servers, for example, but I still see people talking about it occasionally here because it simply was a great looking map that sold itself on what little it had on presentation alone.
Its the same reason why maps like wetworks are so hated despite not really being downright terrible unlike some other maps, while others are remembered more fondly despite being worse overall.
Its hard to talk about JB maps because JB maps are complicated.. a few of our members have had a crack at making them & failed, a few of our staff make maps themselves which are usually either terrible or pretty good (not saying any names here) not to mention the fact that because we have bhop on our servers, theres alot more to think about when adding maps & stuff, crits and bhop make adding & changing maps just more complicated overall
What could be a great map on another server, is terrible on ours. And viceversa. my favorite maps are usually the most simple ones, bootcamp, quake, spacejail, district remake, both fuckzz and famouz_2 are also distinct favorites. (keep in mind all of these maps are pretty visually distinct from one another, and are relatively simple.)
My opinion probably doesnt matter, since the only people who really use the forums anyway are staff members, but I thought I'd post anyway
