It shares many of the virtues of Leica: great lenses, mechanical operation, it is a classic. One thing that makes it very convenient are the film magazines: rather than having several bodies loaded with different film types, you just have several magazines that you snap onto the body as required. Another nice thing about Hasselblad is that just as with Leica, there is a lively second-hand market out there, making it easy to buy and sell equipment as needed.
