Bter was never the best exchange anyway, neither was it really a half decent one in my opinion Just my opinion but for me; mcxNOW (The most secure exchange, currently getting revamped) Cryptsy (The most usable exchange, especially for adding new crypto currencies) Btc-e (The most well established exchange) Bitstamp/OkayCoin (The best exchanges by volume and charting) Those exchanges that lag behind need to die off so we can keep moving forwards
