I commuted via bus/RER/metro from the suburbs through Paris to La Defense for many years and didn't have that experience. It's not Japan but outside of strikes it was reliable enough. Also, the 'less wealthy' folks usually can't afford nor want all the expenses associated with car ownership in France. It's much more affordable to get a Navigo pass.

The weather is nice year round, lots a hiking nearby, beach is 40 min drive and easier commute to work while still being able to visit the city at night or weekends when you want. Good public schools if you live in the right areas. My personal favorite is the lack of mosquitos. I've lived in the midwest, south, new england and in Europe and never even considered there could be a place with such pleasant weather and no mosquitos. It does get chilly in the evenings though.
