I have to say I agree, though IDEX and core-xy are really tempting.
I have a SeeMeCNC rostock max v2 that I built from kit in late 2014 as my 1st (and still only) printer. The early days were constantly alternating between joy and intense frustration.
I have updated most every aspect of it over the years and now have a printer that I really enjoy. When I get tempted by Voron videos and the like, I just think about how easy my delta is to work on. I can't see any other platform being so simple, accessible and quick.
So like you, I would build another delta, only bigger with an all metal frame!
