I love both my Brooks saddles, a B17 and a B17 narrow. I don't need the approval of others' to validate my choice and taste, so I don't mind it when someone else likes what they like. I do mind, however, when I'm told that their choice should be my choice and if it isn't I'm a delusional victim of marketing or nostalgia.
The only other saddle I've used that works for me is the Fizik Arione. A have Ariones on each of my "road" bikes (the Brooks are on my commuter and tourer; I'm just OK with the WTB on my MTB), but they don't give me the sitting-on-a-couch all day comfort I get from the Brooks.
