I used my first two night trains in a decade just a couple of weeks back (nightjet in the D-A-CH area). I definitifely prefer it over flying, but I agree that newer rolling stock would be nice.
My main issue was the lack of space for luggage. It's an impossible task to store a suitcase with a week of belongings for every person in the compartment (which can happen, if you go on a holiday by train 😉). So people put them in the corridor, which makes it difficult to move arround the carriage.

I think why these these railway arguments annoy me over and over is loads of people just have yes-no answers to everything

"It's privatisation!"
Errr, it's not so clear - private enterprise can help *sometimes*, but can also present problems, it depends what you do and how

"It was all better before!"
Err, yes, some things were perhaps easier, but they were also slower and much more costly

So forgive me if I give your simplistic point a rather blunt answer! 🙂
