Why is Teak better than pine, cedar, Kwila or other woods for outdoor furniture?

Teak is a tropical hardwood that weathers well outdoors. It has oils that prevent it from absorbing too much water. It doesn't split or crack, or get spotty like other woods. It does weather, but that just makes it harder. Teak turns grey as it weathers, but it doesn't get splintery - it stays smooth. Kwila is cost effective and has a high oil content, however Kwila is from the rainforrest and will bleed which looses it's oil content, it also results in stained patio's and gardens!
