I loved
Snow Crash, but I would also rate
Cryptonomicon higher. Actually, it's one of my favourite books.
However, I can see that Neal Stephenson wouldn't have universal appeal. He sort of jumps between tight science/drama/history and very loose and goofy geek.
Snow Crash was the reason I started thinking of Cyberpunk as style without substance. That's a compliment really. I like the surface sheen.
