I still have an amber vt520 here. It's great to focus on something though it's harder now to find software that still obeys termcap/terminfo :(
For me the attraction was also the ubiquity of them. I studied in the mid 90s when the web was born and it made the X Terminals at college extremely popular so it was always hard to get one. The rooms full of text terminals are being neglected and it was great to always have one available. It made it something I could rely on to always be there.
