The latest post from the excellent Cycling Challenge blog...

It might come in useful for people planning trips this summer. I certainly would not disagree that there are many, many roads in the Alps that are more enjoyable to ride than Alpe d'Huez.

Though I might argue about some of the details (I'd have put Col de Rousset in there, and maybe not Col de la Machine), I certainly wouldn't argue that there are better ascents/descents than AdH - it's just a long hill that gets you up to a big ski resort. I guess there is more than a bit of TdF history that goes with it, but that doesn't make it a great climb.0
