Yeah after watching the first season the first time it was my favorite and it still remains. I find it hard to compare S1 to S2/3 but it was important in establishing the characters and relationships. Even Michael who is more of a jerk in S1 still is captured in some perfect quotes and in lines that come back in the next seasons. The Pilot is my least favorite Office episode actually, I didn't like the British Pilot either but yet it still has some good moments so I grit my teeth and start people off with it. I like to start things from the beginning, no matter how bad.

BTW love the icon! I was just watching that episode today and that part cracked me up.
