Fundamentally, there was a reason why leaving looked enticing. Those reasons will still be there if you stay after a counter. A counteroffer will never be completely in your favor unless there was literally only one thing making you leave and that one thing is fixed in the offer.

I don't think rescinded offers happen as much as the internet likes to think, but I also don't think they benefit anyone but the company. Why put future effort and resources in your skills development or give you great projects when they now know you were looking to abandon ship? You'll be the first one shown the door if anything goes south since you're now The Flight Risk.
