I mean, nothing really beats the Githyanki Evocation wizard with 19 AC and 8-18 damage - being able to be on the front lines in medium armor and just wreck the baddies while not harming your crew is a massive tactical advantage. Fireball just has a gigantic area, as do Cone of Cold and many other evocation spells - you can't ignore how tricky those spells are to use in confined spaces.
I have literally dropped Fireballs right on top of teammates that were surrounded and outnumbered and basically ended the battle. It's something ONLY an evocation Wizard can do. You are the ultimate Artillery piece.
The Sorcerer metamagic "safe spell" just doesn't really compare - although obviously it's very good for AOE Effect spells - just not damage.
