Default general question about bicycle specs

.....
snip Do you really need to
replace it?
probably not

snip ....
what shortcomings does the current bike have
in your opinion, and what features would you like to get in a
replacement?

I don't have any experience on other bicycles for touring. mine worked
very well, and I liked the gearing which allowed me to go up very steep
hills in the rockies loaded and never had to get off to push it. Being
able to take it off road was a plus, I had the BOB trailer bouncing
around all over the place behind me at times.

But I always have to wonder what makes those high dollar swish bikes so
much better? Mine seemed to be as durable as any other, but what about
differences in how a ride feels? Would I notice a difference if the
frame geometry was different? Or different materials used for the frame?

Maybe I just keep thinking that the grass might be a bit greener
