Is 1031 Exchange a cheat code or just a better way to sell bad properties?

Gut feeling is that 1031 Exchanges are a cheat code to scale a portfolio faster than one could otherwise. But I listen to all of the podcasts, read many of the books, and haven't seen/heard a solid strategy of how to aggressively use 1031s to our advantage. In real life, I only see folks selling bad properties via 1031 Exchange. So to ask it another way, when (if ever) does it make sense to 1031 exchange great properties into greater properties? Any real world examples of your 1031 wins you're willing to share?
