There's versatility in lot of genres. With comedy you can go batshit insane like Zetsubou sensei, poignant drama like H&C and Nodame Cantabile, or more episodic slice of life moments like Azumanga or Lucky Star. Or something like Ouran, or a humorous shounen adventure like One Piece. It isn't bound by any rules except it should be funny. Likewise, Mecha is bound by one rule and that is having robots. If you like bunch of robots piloted by teenagers kicking ass, Mecha is for you.
As for me, I don't care if my anime is mecha or slice-of-life as long as they're good. I enjoyed Evangelion for evas and angels, but also for the same reason I enjoyed some animes found in other genres, such as Cyberpunk and Thriller.
