I agree that buckling springs are a bit of an acquired taste nowadays given how niche they are. I like them a lot, but I grew up typing on a Model M, so maybe I'm just acclimated to them. Beyond nostalgia, I like buckling springs because they provide clear feedback about when a key actuates. Both the click and the "tactile bump" you feel occur when the key actuates. This is difficult to achieve and many keyboards (including those using Cherry switches) do not have this property.
