Agreed on all counts!
Digital Foundry has done some excellent videos on CRTs for retro and modern gaming. High end CRTs are actually fantastic for modern games, too, especially at 120hz. (Although, good luck finding/affording one...)

While purely subjective, many would agree that low-rez pixel art looks much better on a CRT:

There might have even been a discussion on here about this actually.
There have been a few. Of course, any time an older technology is mentioned on HN, a bunch of uninformed tech bros dismiss it as "fashion" or "hipster" or "nostalgia."
In reality, sometimes these old technologies have unique qualities. I have to laugh at the idea of CRTs being "retro-fashion." I've got a half-dozen CRTs in my home and basement and let me tell you, nobody thinks it's cool ha ha ha ha.
