I started my wet shaving journey with DE's, and I still use them every time I shave, even if it's just to shave my head and touch up the face. Some days, when I'm in a rush, I'll turn to the DE's for the entire shave.
I have 4, all Gillettes, 2 adjustable. One is a Slim, another is a Black Beauty long handled adjustable. Then, I have Tech and a Superspeed. For me, the non-adjustables tend to be my favorites, but I love my Slim and BB as well. They all balance differently, shave differently. If I want a close shave, I'll grab my Black Beauty. If I'm concerned about comfort, I'll reach for the Tech or the SS. As Srdjan said, the blades make a huge difference. I tend to go with Feathers and Astra Platinums as my daily drivers. Find the right blade, and a so-so DE can become an absolute dream to use.
I prefer vintage DE's, just as I prefer vintage straights. But, I have several friends who love their Mongoose's (Mongeese????), Razorock Slants, Merkurs, etc. Find what works best for you. And, what I've found is that, even though I enjoy my DE shaves, I end up wishing that I'd had the time to use a straight instead
