Don't know about others, but I get much more enjoyment from "listening"
to the guy I'm in QSO with rather than "looking" at the screen as he
types. I left nearly all my hearing on the other side of the planet 40+
years ago, so CW is my preferred HF mode. SSB works for me for
multi-station Q's [which we used to call round-tables ... "let's see,
who do I turn it to next?"], so long as the signals are strong and in
the clear. Other than contests, I find the digital modes to be somewhat
boring. YMMV
