I don't recall any point in time where I had any interest in fountain pens. I was born well after the time of the fountain pen, and there weren't any relatives in my family that had any special attachments to fountain pens.

I find them to be far more customizable, less throw away, and more expressive for what I'm trying to write. It combines to make your writing feel more like you. I also just like them because they're built with longevity in mind without much concern for cost in most cases, with the exceptions being customizable to bring back to life if desired.
