I agree. I'm sure the new bikes ride great and work fine, but they just don't grab me at all. My vintage era and KOF type bikes with vintage components work fine as far as I'm concerned. I'm used to the way they work, and it doesn't bother me to be dropped on occaission -- I almost always manage to catch up again. I routinely have the oldest bike by far on the local club rides, but still keep with the front group. I even leave 'em behind on the hills when I'm riding my fixed gear. :-)
