A scientific study (funded by Microsoft, so take with a grain of salt) touted Verdana's readability, particularly at small sizes. Also, MoMA added it to its design collection, calling it (and the others in the collection) "a milestone in the history of typography". It was designed by Matthew Carter, a respected typeface designer, and the design itself is pretty original, so it doesn't get panned for its existence and history as much as Arial does. It's well-designed and is designed to be readable on the screen. Of the original " web-safe" (that is, as close to universal as you'll get on the Web) sans-serifs (Arial, Impact, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS, Verdana), Verdana tends to get the most love.
