F-35 is multi-role while the F-22 was optimized primarily for air.
The "multi-role" thing is what made developing and debugging the F-35 such a pain.
However, that seems to be paying off as now it gets manufactured in more and more volume.

Not so much the multi role part as the fact that it's really 3 different aircraft that they tried to make as similar as possible. Had they only made the F35A, with the rules of F35B and C covered by other planes, then it would probably be either cheaper or more capable in some ways.
