being a joy to fly!
Blasting a light PA28-236 out of a short field is some of the most fun I've had in a aeroplane.
Likewise, landing a 172 with flaps forty into a tight space, safely.
Depends what turns you on.
People like you are bores, frankly, if you cannot get enjoyment out of a pastime that was not available to people a few generations ago. I'd quite happily fly anything, rather than nothing - the pure joy of flight appears to pass some by.
BTW, I have the Regent in my logbook and found it like a Citroen, quirky, but ultimately rewarding.
