There is no way this could be anything lower than a 5/5. It's the best card ever, hands down.
Anyone else wondering why this is rated lower than Sol Ring?

When I was first learning how to play the game, I asked my friends, who were already hardcore players, "what is the best card ever?" They looked at each other "Black Lotus," they said. They told me what it did, and I was like, "Okay whatever." Then I thought about it. I thought about it hard. I blacked out, and awoke in a forest with my face covered in blood, and ever since then, wolves seemed to bow at my feet.
Suffice to say, This is a pretty good card.

It may not be the most degenerate card ever printed (Academy), and it may not cause the opponent to scoop if resolved (Yawgmoth's Will), but there's something to be said about a card whose weaker versions are still overpowered.
If you're skilled enough to build the almost non-existent deck that's not improved by adding Black Lotus, you already know why it's the best card in Magic.

As a long time player and owner of one of these, I think I'm qualified to comment regarding those on both sides of this issue, those who think this is the greatest card in all of magic and those who think it's terribly overrated or even flat out bad.
The truth of this lies somewhere in the middle if you're going to be objective about this.
Versatility wise, this is one of the few cards, that can be utilized by just about any deck...provided the person constructing the deck understands the synergy between this and his other cards and how to use it. I could easily throw this card into a deck where it would be close to useless or of minimum assistance.
You still have to know how to play this game...something a lot of people don't.
So this card, by itself, is not the be all and end all. It still needs other cards to win. Can it get you to where you want to go faster than any other card? Depends on the deck. I have one in one deck, with my other Power 9 cards (I have the whole set) tha... (see all)

Whoever rated this below 5 is trolling.

This card got much better now mana burn has gone out, now we don't have to worry about spending all three mana. I mean all three of one colour means it can be hard to use all of it.

When I tought a friend to play and he asked me what card I considered the best and I told him Black Lotus. We were at school and I showed him the card on my netbook at break. He said that it was very strange that a flower was the most valued and the best card.
It is also strange that a flower is an aftifact. It is alive.
5/5
