No doubt. We all have our favorites and they all have their shortcomings which can be argued in favor of an individual position. There are no empiricals when it comes to taste.
The fact that the Apple IDg thought of the LC 5xx as some resuscitated stillborn, is matched only by their own surprise to see how popular it was, both among consumers and in film & TV.
Unfortunately Apple does not give us much leeway in embracing our own style, but rather forces us into their present design whims should we require the most current technology, often orphaning a look with which we have both grown accustomed and enamored.

We must learn to accept one's Colonial styled drawing room, with a brushed aluminum iMac perched atop a Queen Anne desk.
