Definitely not, but very composite numbers are! Like 6, 12, 24, or the best of them all, 60.

There's an argument for 12 for sure, but I still think having a power of 2 would be more beneficial than having the extra factors. 8 would give you the same number of integer factors as 10, plus all the benefits of being a power of 2.
