I will say about Aikido that If we all had robot arms and these things were actually applicable to half decent resisting opponents, then I would rate it highly among the joint lock arts.
I think Oeshiba or whoever it was that systematized it did a good job. It's fairly coherent from white belt to 4th Dan, and the fall techniques look cool.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
In other traditional martial arts, there's usually some kata that look downright stupid and out of place but Aikido does a better job in that regard.
