I like mine 'cause:
If you happen to loose power, like during a storm, mine will still be able to sew. Very "green" as mine are foot powered.
I get some exercise( well maybe the exercise isn't that great lol but it sounds healthy at least)
The stitches are nice and straight.
The more simple something is the less can go wrong with it.
I think the old treadles are much prettier.
I don't need or use all those buttons to make stitches I will never use.
Those are some of my reasons but some people like'em and some don't.
