Kinda like the ummm Phantom F4.. It was a good aircraft but certainly not the best of it's era.
However, perhaps the end goal of this aircraft is not to be the best, but perhaps a good alternative for small air forces in other countries, kind of like the role the F4 Phantom fell into as it was a cheaper alternative than our other high dollar jets and was able to fill the role of both fighter/interceptor as well as bomber.
I really can't see this F35 being used widely as a replacement to the F22, but maybe used by the Marines whom operate a small number of aircraft, well small compared to the US Navy or Air Force..
