as I am pretty much with you, but there are other examples which relate as much to preference, style and nostalgia as much as any technical reason or basis of superiority.
1. Smokeless power or revolvers (I have two revolvers)
2. Mechanical watches (I love my Omega Speedmaster "Moon" watch)
3. Manual transmissions (I enjoy shifting the 6 speed in my S2000)
4. Fountain pens
5. Manually ignited charcoal grills (I have a Green Egg)
And so on...
