What makes the featherweights such an awesome find?

I'm relatively new to this particular craft, though I've been sewing for 51 years. I am curious why there is such enthusiasm over finding an older Singer featherweight sewing machine. What makes them so special, other than they are not made with the stupid plastic parts that so many modern machines are made of?

I'm going to NY in August to visit my Mom. I'm bringing her some pajamas I made for her and can hem them if I need to or adjust the waist etc with my little Featherweight.
Besides the "featherweight" feature they are well made and beautiful!! My husband and I love antiques and he wishes I would leave it out but I keep it in the case. Too many cats who own us :D
