I don't miss breaker points or carbs. Modern ignition systems and FI give us cleaner running motors with more power and better fuel mileage. What's not to like?
However, the ability to repair the older systems with simple tools, even at the roadside, was a plus. In an area of the World where access to service and parts was limited or unavailable, I would prefer the old systems knowing I could do the repair without need of specialized parts or test equipment.
