TWABW can be excused, because she really did have the best leadership abilities within the group (which is like being the best kickboxer under two years old).
Starlight has... decent planning and organizational skills, and would make a reasonably effective middle manager. Pretty much every plan she's ever made has fallen apart in practice however, because she really_*doesn't_* have the charisma to make ponies do what she wants. In "A Royal Problem" for instance she was completely ineffective in stopping the argument between Luna and Celestia, and had a nervous breakdown about five seconds into trying to organize the Mane 5 in "Every Little Thing She Does". And Trixie repeatedly walks all over her.
Twilight's pretty good, despite her social difficulties. They're really pretty different skill sets, as Lyndon Johnson will tell you. Twilight's incredible earnestness and faith in friendship and magic make her seem slightly odd in person, but messiah-like when put in charge.
