I agree with you. The 152 is a fine little aircraft - it does exactly what it says on the box and the running costs (from an aeroplane) are reasonable.
Whilst Pierre Robin built some good aeroplanes, I can't help but think that a bit of a mythology has grown around them, due in part to some strong support in the 80s from a well known aviation writer. They're good, but then again so are a lot of other SEPs.
