Ranged AD champs have basically two requirements: they must scale well with AD and be able to control their position. Ezreal has the best position control of all AD champs. His primary drawback is relatively weak AD scaling, which has been mitigated a fair bit by the buff to trueshot barrage. I'm of the opinion that he's a quite good AD carry now.

AP champs, on the other hand, want low base cooldowns, high AP ratios, solid base damage, and strong CC. Ezreal has decent AP ratios, but bad cooldowns, unimpressive base damage, and no CC. He can also use lich bane well, which is nice, but just isn't enough to make him very good compared to other mages, especially when you consider how vulnerable he has to make himself to get full value out of his spell combo.
