I think for me it is mainly that - nostalgia. There are excellent electronic logbooks around, both on the computer and as an app on the smartphone. Quite a few of my colleagues use those. But I still have a paper logbook for whose entried I only use my fountain pen. I like it that way. However, in parallel I enter all my flights into an Excel (*) spreadsheet. Simple because it is a lot easier to calculate sums and put together the hours I need to write the invoices to my employers.

(*) I actually had this already before Excel was invented. Originally I started it in Lotus-1-2-3
