How can you sai it?
Fertile Ground costs 
more, losing the possibility of a 3CMC play in the 2nd turn. You have more flexibility with the mana color, but you lose in acceleration. And in a 2-color deck (like almost every deck you would build in Ravnica block) Utopia Sprawl is better, in my opinion.
Lush Growth doesn't give you acceleration and you can't have blue or black mana...
Those cards may be occasionally better than Utopia, but not so often and not so far, so I wouldn't say that "are MUCH better"...
The restriction is a little annoing, but if you're playing green for mana acceleration or mana fixing, then you should play quite a lot of Forest, so it isn't really a problem...
4/5

In most decks it's Forest restriction can be just ignored and the fact you can cast it just for G is pretty rewarding to run it over good old Fertile Ground (which I love). Combinations with Arbor Elf, Garruk Wildspeaker or Argothian Elder give it advantage over Llanowars or birds... and it fits so perfectly to splashing decks... very solid and balanced :)

This card is extremely solid mana acceleration as well as mana fixing. Anyone who doesn't realize this is one of the better enchant lands hasn't played it.
Also, the fact that you have to choose the color as it enters the battle field isn't really a draw back either, as anyone who knows their deck will know what kind of mana they will need.
4/5, because this card does everything it's supposed to perfectly and efficiently. Overall fantastic utility.

This is the best enchant land I've seen. A close no.2 is Underworld Connections.

It doesn't. From Imperiosaur's rules:
"Mana from any source other than a land with the supertype "basic" can't be spent to cast Imperiosaur. Many mana-producing effects (such as Heartbeat of Spring or Utopia Sprawl, for example) add mana to a player's mana pool whenever a land becomes tapped. This mana is produced by the enchantment, not the land, so it can't be used to pay for Imperiosaur."

Dual lands and this = 1 land produces three types of mana.

@kyubi4tails: Yes, it does, you get 3 mana total!
Wow, just thinking about combining this card with Arbor Elf makes me grin.

This card is better than Llanowar Elves and Birds of Paradise.
On any turn other than turn 1, this is essentially free to use. You can tap a forest, and then attach this to another forest. Then, tapping the second forest will yield 2 mana. This allows you to mana fix on the same turn that you play it, and it also gives you 1 extra mana in future turns. Llanowar and Birds, on the hand, require you to wait a turn before they start rewarding you.
Also, enchantments are harder to remove than creatures.
The only advantage that Llanowar Elves and Birds of Paradise have over this is that you can chump block with later in the game should circumstances require it. Other than that, utopia sprawl is much better.
5/5

That weakness can be pretty insignificant, the advantage of being able to play this on turn 1 is huge. Since you already know what mana you're able to produce from your starting hand you certainly also know what color of mana you need the most. I still prefer playing Llanowar Elves (or Birds of Paradise if I had any) for the body it provides if I'm playing mono-green.
