Of all instruments, it probably is the msot versatile. A piano can capture just about any mood or tone and its 88 keys cover the lowest and highest notes that are conceivable in any listenable music. It's one of the harder instruments to learn - which might be why some people don't like it that much. It's hard to learn to play well, and few thigns are as boring and bleah to lsiten to as a mediocre piano player. But if someone knows how to play, a piano is captivating magic to hear. Probably my favourite instrument.
