They also do that old fashioned thing of making a bit of a noise! Can't beat the roar of full reverse thrust on landing, the only BA aircraft type I've been on that regularly uses it (presumably due the old steel brakes that are both very noisy and heat up like nobodies business).
Give me a new AA 737 in domestic F with my own IFE screen and in-flight wifi over an old CE bird any day
